lyrics

Whistle Don't Mean Quit

I’ve been working all lifelong did I ever let it in
Take me to the river, Lord, and float me

I been bleeding all my blood till there ain’t no red in it
If I seem muddy wade to my chin in it
If I seem muddy wade to my chin in it

Hear them rolling all night long but the whistle don’t mean quit
Dig my boots in black coal till I’m covered in it
The whistle crying aloud don’t never mean quit

Lord knows I’ve called his name in the middle of the night and the pouring rain
When the blisters on my palms split in He ain’t gonna let me down
Don’t rest them bones or set down just yet, if it ain’t gonna kill you then you’ll move instead

The whistle crying aloud don’t never mean quit
The whistle singing hard don’t never mean quit
