Ooooh,
Oh, I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day.
I've been workin' on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.
Can't you hear the whistle blowin'?
Rise up so early in the morn.
Can't you hear the captain shoutin',
"Dinah, blow your horn!"

Dinah, won'tcha blow, Dinah, won'tcha blow,
Dinah, won'tcha blow your horn?
Dinah, won'tcha blow, Dinah, won'tcha blow,
Dinah, won'tcha 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 fiddle-e-aye-o,
Fee fi fiddle-e-aye-o,
Fee fi fiddle-e-aye-o,
Strummin' on the old banjo.

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day.
I've been workin' on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.
Can't you see the sunshine shinin'?
Rise up so early in the morn.
Can't you hear the captain shoutin',
"Dinah, Dinah, Dinah!"
"What?"
"Dinah, blow your horn,
Dinah, blow that horn!"
