I've Been Working on the Railroad
I’ve been working on the railroad, all the live-long day.
I’ve been working on the railroad, to pass the time of day.
Don’t you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn.
Don’t you hear the captain shouting, “Dinah, blow your horn!”?
Dinah, won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow your horn?
Dinah won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow, Dinah won’t you blow your horn?
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah; Someone’s in the kitchen I know.
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, strummin’ on the old banjo.
Fee-fi, fiddlee-i-o, fee-fi, fiddlee-i-o. Fee-fi, fiddlee-i-o!
Strummin on the old banjo.
