  • I've been working on the railroad
    All the livelong day
    I've been working on the railroad
    Just to pass the time away

    Can't you hear the whistle blowing
    Rise up so early in the morn
    Can't you hear the captain shouting
    Dinah, blow your horn

    Dinah, won't you blow
    Dinah, won't you blow
    Dinah, won't you blow your horn
    Dinah, won't you blow
    Dinah, won't you blow
    Dinah, won't you blow your horn
    Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
    Someone's in the kitchen I know
    Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
    Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

    Fie, fi, fiddly i o fie, fi, fiddly i o
    Fie, fi, fiddly i o
    Strumming on the old banjo Publisher: PLYMOUTH MUSIC CO INC
