I worked for the union and on my very first communion, you know,
The railway, there's no better way, ooh the railway
I worked for the miller, a very, very nice type of fellow
The railway, give me a bottle of whiskey, ooh the railway
And I'd like to thank someone for mascara and good things that I done
it never ever, ever, ever worked out right
So I spent the night sleepin' on the railway
I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said "So long, amigo. Good night" and slept on the railway
And it's nice to talk to you today
but I could see that it was never gonna work out right
So I split and spent the night sleeping on the railway
I worked in the subway arc, oh yeah, yeah
You know it never, no no never, no never no, ever no, worked out right
So I said "So long" and spent the night on the railway
Ooh, there's nothin' like the railway
And for the time ya spent and the friendship begun
And most of all starry nights on the railway
Ooh, I don't know no better way
than just, ooh, lyin' back an' drifting away
I can hear it, I can hear it
