Johnny Cash - I’ve Been Working on the Railroad lyrics

[Johnny Cash - I’ve Been Working on the Railroad lyrics]

Down at the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
Some folks go to work
And others take vacations
One took Melinda to Cal-i-for-ni-o
Oh don't go Melinda, please don't go
You didn't see the teacake I
Brung you from the fair
I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad 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 that old banjo
And singing fee fi fiddle-e-i-o
Fee fi fiddle-de-i-o-o-o
Fee fi fiddle-de-i-o strumming on
That old banjo
Some go to work, and others on vacation
One of'em took Melinda to cal-i-for-ni-a
