Poor Tom work's gone Lazin' out in the noonday sun
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Ellie May
One of many games she played
When Tom was out of town She couldn't keep her dress down
Poor Tom Seventh Son Always knew what's goin on
Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom
Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
People got to Ellie May
Tom took a gun in his hand
And stopped all the runnin' around
Poor Tom Seventh Son
Gotta die for what you've done
All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say
But what about that grandson on your knee
Them railroad songs tom would sing to me
There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom
Keep-a Truckin'
Keep-a Truckin'
