Up each morning at five o'clock. Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.. The work is hard in a railroad yard. Hey hey gotta' make it today to punch a time card.. Workin' on the railroad.. . CHORUS. Oh you know the railroad is a mighty good line. Come on and ride the railroad one more time.. Oh you know the railroad is a mighty good line. Come on and ride the railroad one more time.. . Dirt and sweat runnin' down my back. Workin' on the railroad.. Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.. Workin' on the railroad.. I'm a God fearing man and with many I stand. Workin' on the railroad.. And with God we've been working all hand in hand.. Workin' on the railroad.. . CHORUS. . Oh you know the railroad is a mighty good line. Workin' on the railroad.. Come on and ride the railroad one more time.. Workin' on the railroad.. Oh you know the railroad is a mighty good line. Come on and ride the railroad one more time.. .
