I've Been Working on the Railroad

歌詞

I'm working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees Working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees I'm digging for big John Henry And he is so hard to please And I've been all around this world Single girl, single girl Where'd you get that dress so fine Single girl, single girl Where'd you get that dress so fine I got my dress from a railroad man Shoes from a driver in the mine And I've been all around this world I'm working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees Working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees I'm digging for big John Henry And he is so hard to please And I've been all around this world Single girl, single girl Go out whenever you please Single girl, single girl Go out whenever you please For when you get married Babies all around your knees And I've been all around this world I'm working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees Working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees I'm digging for big John Henry And he is so hard to please And I've been all around this world The new railroad is ready, now The cars are on the track The new railroad is ready, now The cars are on the track And if the women leave them The money will bring them back And I've been all around this world I'm working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees Working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees I'm digging for big John Henry And he is so hard to please And I've been all around this world I'm working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees Working on the new railroad With the mud up to my knees I'm digging for big John Henry And he is so hard to please And I've been all around this world And I'm going around again
