Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
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
Take this hammer, take it to the captain
Take this hammer, good buddy, take it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone.
If he asks you was I running
If he asks you was I running
If he asks you, good buddy, was I running
Tell his I was flying, tell him I was flying.
If he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you was I laughing
If he asks you, good buddy, was I laughing
Tell his I was crying, tell him I was crying.
This old hammer rings like silver
This old hammer rings like silver
This old hammer, good buddy, rings like silver
Shines like gold, and it shines like gold.
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
Working on a railroad, good buddy, for a dollar a day
Got to get my money, gotta get my pay.
Got to get my money, gotta get my pay.
