Watch I’ve Been Working On The Railroad

Written by Traditional with additional words and music by Tom Radd

Lyrics

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn
Can 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?
Toot, toot

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Toot, toot

Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o
Strumming on the old banjo

Alright now, get back to work

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

When you see the steel wheels turning
Chugging along that long, long track
When you smell the coal fire burning
Dinah blows her stack

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Toot, toot

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Toot, toot

Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fee-fi-fiddly-i-o
Strumming on the old banjo

Keep working till you hear that horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Toot, toot

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Toot, toot

I've been working on
Working on the railroad

I've been working on
Working on the railroad

All aboard now
We're going all across this land
From town to town
From sea to shining sea
Here we go
All aboard

I've been working on
Working on the railroad
Toot, toot

I've been working on
Working on the railroad
Toot, toot

I've been working on
Working on the railroad
Toot, toot

I've been working on
Working on the railroad
