Working On The Railroad

(album: Blue Skies Black Heroes - 1988)

Working on the railroad for a dollar a day
Working on the railroad for a dollar a day
Working on the railroad for a dollar a day
And I'm taking my money and I'm going away

Take this hammer, take it to the captain
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Take this hammer, carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone, you can tell him I'm gone

If he should ask you, was I running
If he should ask you, now was I running
If he should ask you, now was I running
Tell him, oh no, you can tell him I was flying
Tell him, oh no, I was flying
Tell him, oh no, you tell him I was flying
If he should ask you, now was I running
Tell him, oh no, tell him I was flying

I'm going on a mountain, I'm going to see my baby
I'm going on a mountain, I'm going to see my baby
I'm going on a mountain, I'm going to see my baby
And I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back
I ain't coming back, I ain't coming back
I ain't coming back, oh buddy, I ain't coming back
I'm going on a mountain, I'm going to see my baby
And I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back
