Railroad

Although I've left you darlingI'll soon be back againThat's what I said in ChinaWhere all the work was deadI hope you get my lettersI'll write them every dayI'll soon be heading eastwardsI'm hammering the nailsI'm working on the railroadI dig away the timeI'm singing to the worksongWith memories in mindI'll sail to Hong Kong harbourThe winds were warmer thereThe sweat would roll down my backWhile digging at the earthWhile talking of you darlingI'd show your photographAnd point it over westwardsWay over past the tracksI'm working on the railroadI dig away the timeI'm singing to the worksongWith memories in mindI'm working on the railroadI dig away the timeI'm singing to the worksongWith memories in mindOf you... of you, oh!I've saved every penny, my girlI hope that you have waited out thereFor all my love when I get homeCause deep down in my heart, there's a holeI've saved every penny, my girlI hope that you have waited out thereFor all my love when I get homeCause deep down in my heart, there's a holeI've saved every penny, my girlI hope that you have waited out thereFor all my love when I get homeCause deep down in my heart, there's a hole
