Mark Knopfler - Railroad Worksong lyrics

rate me

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day

Working on a railroad good buddy for a dollar a day

Got to get my money gotta get my pay

Take this hammer take it to the captain

Take this hammer take it to the captain

Take this hammer good buddy take it to the captain

Tell him I'm gone tell him I'm gone

If he asks you was I running

If he asks you was I running

If he asks you good buddy was I running

Tell him I was flying tell him I was flying

If he asks you was I laughing

If he asks you was I laughing

If he asks you good buddy was I laughing

Tell him I was crying tell him I was crying

This old hammer rings like silver

This old hammer rings like silver

This old hammer good buddy rings like silver

Shine like gold buddy and it shine like gold

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day

Working on a railroad for a dollar a day

Working on a railroad good buddy for a dollar a day

Got to get my money gotta get my pay

Got to get my money gotta get my pay

Got to get my money gotta get my pay
