Lyrics 
Hear the whistle blow far off in the still night without stars
See the tracks laid flat with a hammer's might
They're the spike driver's scars
They're the spike driver's scars

Hear the whistle blow far off in the still night without stars
See the tracks laid flat with a hammer's might
They're the spike driver's scars

It's all painted in red
Take to him this hat and hammer
Songwriters: John S Hurt, Laura Veirs
And tell him I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
They're the spike driver's scars
Hear the whistle blow far off in the still night without stars
It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red
The West springs up from the spike driver's blues
See the tracks laid flat with a hammer's might
Publisher: FREAK OFF THE LEASH
It's all painted in red
By the railroad ties, there a hammer lies
By the railroad ties there a hammer lies
And the Captain's new shiny shoes
They're the spike driver's scars
It's all painted in red, it's all painted in red
