I've been working on the railroad
All my live-long days
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can't you hear the whistle blowin'
Rise up so early in the morn'
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah won't you blow your horn
Dinah won't you blow
(Dinah won't you blow)
Dinah won't you blow your horn
Dinah won't ya blow
Dinah won't ya blow
Dinah won't ya blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the ole banjo
And singin'
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o-o-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-fiddley-i-o
Strummin' on the ole banjo

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the ole banjo
And singin'
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o-o-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-fiddley-i-o
Strummin' on the ole banjo
And singin'
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-o-o-o
Fe-fi-fiddley-i-fiddley-i-o
Strummin' on the ole banjo

I've been working on the railroad
Boy you better listen to me
One day I'm gonna own this railroad
And everyone will ride for free
