Buddy Boy Hawkins - Workin' on the Railroad lyrics

Working on the railroad, boys sure will give you the blues I'm talking about working on that railroad bend, it sure will give you the blues Just walk up and slide the track, until you wear out your shoes. Now when you hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail" You can hear the captain call "you men, let's move that rail" And if you don't do what he says, you have to get somebody else to go your bail My black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard Oh, my black woman she needs the money that's why I work so hard And if I don't keep on rolling, she'll have another black man in my yard When your black woman says bring it home partner, railroad is all you know When your woman says bring it home Buddy Boy, railroad is all you know Just get out on the hot track and work your hands to the crow
