A workin' on the railroad all day long a workin' on the railroad sing this song Sing about an old love I once knew sing about an old love or maybe two A workin' on the railroad a workin' on the railroad Work work workin' on the railroad
I drove a lotta hot steel in my time I drank a lotta stuff they call moonshine I got me a woman in every town workin' on the railroad never settle down A workin' on the railroad a workin' on the railroad Work work workin' on the railroad
I draw my pay on a Saturday night go in town and start a fight Love me a woman and laught at a joke a workin' on the railroad always a broke A workin' on the railroad a workin' on the railroad Work work workin' on the railroad
When I die then they'll burry me alongside of tracks where I wanna be Don't you cry friends just remember this there ain't much your ole buddy miss A-workin' on the railroad a workin' on the railroad Work work workin' on the railroad
