Railroad Worksong Lyrics - Missing... Presumed Having A Good Time - Notting Hillbillies

TRADITIONAL 

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 

Gotta 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 good 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 

Gotta get my money gotta get my pay 

Gotta get my money gotta get my pay 

Gotta get my money gotta get my pay
