Railroad Lyrics - Who Killed The Zutons - Zutons

"Although I've left you darlin' 

I'll soon be back again" 

That's what I said in China 

Where all the work was dead 

I hope you get my letters 

I write them everyday 

I'll soon be headin' eastwards 

I'm hammerin' the nails 

I'm workin' on the railroad 

I dig away the time 

I'm singin' to the work song 

With memories in mind 

I sail to Hong Kong Harbor 

The winds were warmer there 

The sweat would roll down my back 

While diggin' at the earth 

While talkin' of you darlin' 

I'd show your photograph 

And point it over westwards 

Way over past the tracks 

I'm workin' on the railroad 

I dig away the time 

I'm singin' to the work song 

With memories in mind 

I'm workin' on the railroad 

I dig away the time 

I'm singin' to the work song 

With memories in mind 

Of you, of you, hoh ho 

I've saved every penny, my girl 

I hope that you have waited out there 

For all my love when I get home 

'Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole 

I've saved every penny, my girl 

I hope that you have waited out there 

For all my love when I get home 

'Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole 

I've saved every penny, my girl 

I hope that you have waited out there 

For all my love when I get home 

'Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole
