[Verse 1]
Am                                     G       F
Rail tie worker, I've been laying ties on cold ground
         Am                          G                  F
But I'm leaving this evening on the same tracks I laid down
              Am                                     G      F
There's some boys out in Jersey that are calling me out by name
         Am                       G                F
I got a reason to believe I ain't glory bound anyway

[Verse 2]
               Am                                        G              F
And if you're readin' this letter, tell my mother and my brother that I love 'em
      Am                                 G      F
He's got the better blood of my old man and our cousins
        Am                                G       F
But he made a bad deal with some boys out on Oak Island
        Am                             G         F
And if he don't pay, they say thеy're bound to find him
 
[Chorus]
    C      G      Am       F      C
But if I find 'em on that island first
     G                Am  F
The worst is yеt to come
       C        G      Am         F         C
'Cause no blood in the mud I was raised in spends
G            Am  F
Life on the run

[Verse 3]
       Am                                          G       F
And I went to Jay's tavern and it happens that the boys were there
       Am                                     G            F
Recognized his backside from the color of our mother's hair
       Am                                          G             F
And my brother found another way to make himself a decent little livin'
     Am                                           G         F
He turned around and found himself a lickin' only blood could give him
 
[Verse 4]
       Am                                    G        F
And I told him I was there to keep him clear of that island
    Am                              G              F
He said, "I love you Mickey, but I found out that I'm them"
      Am                                G       F
And I got bad blood with some blood out on Oak Island
        Am                   G        F
And if he stays, I say I am bound to find him
 
[Chorus]
    C      G      Am       F      C
But if I find 'em on that island first
     G                Am  F
The worst is yеt to come
       C        G      Am        F         C
'Cause no blood in the mud we's raised in spends
G            Am  F
Life on the run
