Yeah, watch the children crying
All down the line
We'll be watching out
for trouble, yeah
(All down the line)
And we'd better keep the
motor running, yeah
(All down the line)
Well, you can't say yes
and you can't say no
Just be right there when the whistle blows
I
need a sanctified man to help out me now
Yeah, all the people
singing
All down the line.
Yeah, watch the men all working,

Hear the whistle blowing
Hear it for a thousand
miles
We're gonna open up the
throttle, yeah, yeah
All down the line, we're gonna bust another
bottle, yeah
Well you can't say yes, and you can't say no
Just
