lyrics

He pat me head and kissed my nose and said sweet darlin I gotta go
I'm working on the railway all day long
He said cheer up hun don't be glum I'll bring you back a Capri-Sun
I'm gonna catch a rail train now so so long

Pa's working on the railroad
All day

He said girl grab my hat and grab my coat the engine fire I gotta stoke
I'm working on the railway all day long
Hey little girl climb inside my Intercity 125
I'm working on the railway all day long

Pa's working on the railroad
All day

He said rally round boys make some noise we ain't no rich man's toy
We'll strike today for fair pay
it's 8:28 I can't be late a man like me the boss man hates
I'm standing on a picket line all day long

Pa's working on the railroad
All day long
