I've Been Working on the Railroad

by Tim Hardin

on This Is Tim Hardin (1967)

Workin' on the railroad, a dollar a day
Workin' on the railroad for a dollar a day
Workin' on the railroad for a dollar a day
Earnin' my money in a kinda way
Just 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"?

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, fie, fiddle-e-i-o
Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o
Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o
Strumming on the old banjo
