Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
             A7                      D
Working on a railroad for a dollar a day
                           D7                   G
Working on a railroad good buddy for a dollar a day
              D     A7           D
Got to get my money gotta get my pay

Take this hammer take it to the captain
Take this hammer take it to the captain
Take this hammer good buddy take it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone tell him I'm gone

If he asks you was I running
If he asks you was I running
If he asks you good buddy was I running
Tell him I was flying tell him I was flying
