You might want to give a listen to "Lining Track", a worksong from the prison/railroad, to fully appricate, White Collar Holler.

Intro:Ho Boys, can ya line it,
Done got line
What I hate about lining track
These ol bars bout to break my back

Ch:I say ho boy can you line
Ho boys give it hell
Ho boys can you line it
See Eloise go lining track

See the Captain sitting in the shade
He don't do nothing but he gets paid

Way down younder in the holler field
Angels working on that chariot wheel
Mary, Martin, Luke & John
All those disciples dead & gone

many more. Barry
