Working on the Railway

歌詞

In eighteen hundred and forty one I put me corduroy britches on Put me corduroy britches on To work upon the railway, the railway Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty two I left the old world for the new Left the old world for the new To work upon the railway In eighteen hundred and forty three Was then I met sweet Molly McGee Asked her if she'd marry me To work upon the railway In eighteen hundred and forty four My hands and feet and back were sore Hands and feet and back were sore From working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty five I felt more dead than alive Felt more dead than alive Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty six I broke the handle on my pick Broke the handle on my pick Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty seven Sweet Molly McGee she went to heaven If she left one kid she left eleven To work upon the railway
