This song was first released on the All Aboard! album. It is the only album it has been released on.
Mo boys, is you right
Done got it right
All I hate about linin' track
These ol' boys are gonna break my back
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Down in the holler below the fleld
Angels working on the chariot wheel
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Mary and the babe was a sittin' in the shade
Thinking on the money that I ain't made
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Gotta batten down the waves with a 2 by 4
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Now if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
All them disciples dead and gone
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
Mo boys, is you right
Done got it right
All I hate about lining track
These ol' boys about to break my back
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
Mo boys, can't you line 'em (track a lack)
See Eloise gonna line 'em track
