"Swannanoa Tunnel / Steel-Driving Man" lyrics
Silkroad Ensemble & Rhiannon Giddens Lyrics
Asheville Junction, Swannanoa Tunnel
All caved in, baby, all caved in
Last December, I remember
Wind blowed cold, baby, wind blowed cold
When you hear my watchdog howling
Somebody around, baby, somebody around
When you hear that hoot owl squalling
Somebody dying, baby, somebody dying
Hammer falling from my shoulder
All day long, baby, all day long
I'm going back to that Swannanoa Tunnel
That's my home, baby, that's my home
All caved in, baby, all caved in
Last December, I remember
Wind blowed cold, baby, wind blowed cold
When you hear my watchdog howling
Somebody around, baby, somebody around
When you hear that hoot owl squalling
Somebody dying, baby, somebody dying
Hammer falling from my shoulder
All day long, baby, all day long
I'm going back to that Swannanoa Tunnel
That's my home, baby, that's my home
