| Up each morning at five o’clock
|
| Seem like the noon-day sun ain’t never gonna' stop
|
| The work is hard in a railroad yard
|
| Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line
|
| Come on and ride the railroad, one more time
|
| Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line
|
| Come on and ride the railroad, one more time
|
| Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| I’m a God fearing man, and with many I stand
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| And with God we’ve been working, all hand in hand
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| Come on and ride the railroad, one more time
|
| Workin' on the railroad
|
| Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line
|
| Come on and ride the railroad, one more time |
