onward, onward through our landIt's friends of mine who died upon the building of this lineIrishmen and chinamen and some from the british islesI've even seen the convicts come to work here for a whileBefore the law caught up with them and sent them back to trialI had a wife while on the job a hundred miles on backShe died in oklahoma and I laid her by the trackAll that's left is a wooden cross upright on a moundAnd every time the train rolls past, it rumbles in the ground
