Lyrics
Come on, boys, let's sing that old levee song, "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Give us the pitch, Russ.
I've been working on the railroad all the livelong day. I've been working on the railroad to pass the time away. 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"?
Oh, I was born in Mobile town. I'm working on the levee. All day I roll the cotton down, a-working on the levee.
I've been working on the railroad all the livelong day. I've been working on the railroad to pass the time away. 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"?
I used to have a dog named Bill, a-working on the levee. He run away, but I'm here still, a-working on the levee.
I've been working on the railroad all the livelong day.
I've been working on the railroad to pass the time away. 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"? Oh, blow your
horn
