Railroad Worksong Songtext

von The Notting Hillbillies

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day (2x)
Working on a railroad good buddy for a dollar a day
Got to get my money gotta get my pay

Take this hammer take it to the captain (2x)
Take this hammer good buddy take it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone (2x)

If he asks you was I running (2x)
If he asks you good buddy was I running
Tell him I was flying (2x)

If he asks you was I laughing (2x)
If he asks you good buddy was I laughing
Tell him I was crying (2x)

This old hammer rings like silver (2x)
This old hammer good buddy rings like silver
Shine like gold buddy and it shine like gold

Repeat first verse
