Railroad

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'll write them every day I'll soon be heading Eastwards I'm hammering the nails I'm working on the Railroad I dig away the time I'm singing to the worksong With memories in mind I'll sail to Hong Kong harbour The winds were warmer there The sweat would roll down my back While digging up the earth While talking of you darling I'd show your photograph And point it over Westwards Way over past the tracks I'm working on the Railroad I dig away the time I'm singing to the worksong With memories in mind I'm working on the Railroad I dig away the time I'm singing to the worksong With memories in mind of you I've saved every penny my girl I hope that you have waited out there For all my love when I get home 'Cos 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 'Cos 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 'Cos deep down in my heart there's a hole?
