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 him 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 him 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
Shine like gold, buddy, and it shine 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
I got to get my money, gotta get my pay
Got to get my money, gotta get my pay
I got to get my money, gotta get my pay
