Yeah, heard the diesel drumming all down the
line
Oh heard the wires a-humming all down the
line
Yeah, hear the women sighing all down the
line
Oh hear the children crying all down the line
All down the line
We'll be watching out for trouble, yeah
All down the line
And we'll keep the motor running, yeah
All down the line
You can't say yes and you can't say no
Just be right there when the whistle blows
I need a sanctified girl with a sanctified
mind to help me now
Yeah, all the people singing all down the line
Watch the men all working, working, yeah,
all down the line
All down the line
And we'll open up and swallow, yeah
All down the line
And we'll bust another bottle, yeah
I need a shot of salvation, baby, once in a
while
Hear the whistle blowing, hear it for a thousand
miles
Well you can't say yes and you can't say no
Just be right there when the whistle blows
I need a sanctified mind to help me out right
now
Won't you be my little baby for a while?
(...) walking all down the highway side
That's why I need you (...)

I thought Mick Taylor was a really good slide player. I liked him on things like All Down the Line and Love In Vain, you know.
