On The Railroad

Give me a spade, and I'll give you a hole whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Dirt on my brow, but steel in my soul whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Picking up coal and we're picking up speed

Shovel as much as the engine needs

Sweat and blood gonna earn my pay

All the way to Frisco Bay

Blowing through hills, tryna make up time whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Ain't nothing gonna stand in the way of our line whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Picking up coal and we're picking up speed

Shovel as much as the engine needs

Sweat and blood gonna earn my pay

All the way to Frisco Bay

Boss man says that a mile-a-day's the pace whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

I'll make two for the look on his face whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Picking up coal and we're picking up speed

Shovel as much as the engine needs

Sweat and blood gonna earn my pay

All the way to Frisco Bay

Surveyors tryna plan which route is best whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Just draw a straight line from east to west whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Picking up coal and we're picking up speed

Shovel as much as the engine needs

Sweat and blood gonna earn my pay

All the way to Frisco Bay

We spare no quarter, and we'll spare no man whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Just pray we don't run into the Cheyenne whuh!

Way-oh on the railroad

Picking up coal and we're picking up speed

Shovel as much as the engine needs

Sweat and blood gonna earn my pay

All the way to Frisco Bay
