Songs - I've Been Working on the Railroad

Sing Out Loud Traditional Songs
LYRICS:
IVE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
1. I've been working on the railroad. All the live long day. I've been working on the rail road, just to pass the time away. Can't you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn! Can'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, strumming on the old banjo. Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Fee fi fiddley aye, oh- Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Strumming the old ban-jo!

I'm 26 years old, and I'm almost 27 yrs old! I listen to this song on a daily basis. If you see a grown adult walking in a store, or in public, and he's singing this song, IT'S ME!! TRUST ME, this song is AWESOME whatever age you are. I LOVE IT, and sing it all the time.

[zupergozer]

I've been working on the railroad
Every pointless day!
I've been working on the railroad
While my life gets pissed away!
Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Shatter my dreams in the morn!
Can't you hear the captain shouting
I wish I was never born!
