I've had this ancient thread bookmarked for a long time, as you can see. I swear I've heard this song sung by a woman, maybe Sally Rogers, but I can't find it. Art Thieme has a similar song, Craig Johnson's "Way Down the Road," on his The Older I Get, the Better I Was CD, but I don't think it's the same. Can somebody tell us more about this song, and maybe post lyrics?

Does anyone know a song with a chorus something like:

Blow your whistle out across the lines
Way out 'cross the valley to the ?Lynchville? mines
Blow for better times
Way down the road.

I last heard this song in Ithaca, NY about six or seven years ago--there was a man with a bushy black beard who would be asked for it just about every sing.
Thanks.
