The Railroad

(albüm: We're An American Band - 1973)

Up each morning at five o'clock,
Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card.
Working on the railroad.

[CHORUS]
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Dirt and sweat, running down my back,
Working on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Working on the railroad.
I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Working on the railroad.
And with God we've been working, all hand in hand.
Working on the railroad.

[CHORUS]

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Working on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Working on the railroad.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
