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.
Workin` 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, runnin` down my back,
Workin` on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin` on the railroad.
I`m a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin` on the railroad.
And with God we`ve been working, all hand in hand.
Workin` on the railroad.
CHORUS
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Workin` on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Workin` on the railroad.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
