Working on the railroad for a dollar a day,
working on the railroad for a dollar a day.
Working on the railroad for a dollar a day.
gotta earn my money, boy, I gotta earn my pay.
Take this hammer, take it to the captain,
take this hammer, take it to the captain.
Take this hammer, take it to the captain,
tell him Im gone, buddy, you can tell him Im gone.
(INTERLUDE:HARMONICA:)
If he asks you, was I laughing?
If he asks you, was I laughing?
If he asks you, was I laughing..?
tell him Im fine, buddy, you can tell him Im fine.
Take this hammer, take it to the captain,
take this hammer, take it to the captain.
Take this hammer, take it to the captain,
tell him Im gone, buddy, you can tell him Im gone.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
