Workin' On the Railroad
Working on the railroad, boys sure will give you the blues
I'm talking about working on that
railroad bend, it sure will give you the blues
Just walk up and slide the track, until you wear out your shoes.
Now when you hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail"
You can hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail"
And if you don't do what he says,
you have to get somebody else to go your bail
My black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard
Oh, my black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard
And if I don't keep on rolling,
she'll have another black man in my yard
When your black woman says bring it
home partner, railroad is all you know
When your woman says bring it home Buddy Boy, railroad is all you know
Just get out on the hot track and work your hands to the crow
I'm talking about working on that
railroad bend, it sure will give you the blues
Just walk up and slide the track, until you wear out your shoes.
Now when you hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail"
You can hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail"
And if you don't do what he says,
you have to get somebody else to go your bail
My black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard
Oh, my black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard
And if I don't keep on rolling,
she'll have another black man in my yard
When your black woman says bring it
home partner, railroad is all you know
When your woman says bring it home Buddy Boy, railroad is all you know
Just get out on the hot track and work your hands to the crow
