Work on the Railroad Lyrics by Trailer Bride

Whine de Lune

0

Wanna work on the railroad
Wanna drive some steel
Hey Mister won't you hire me?
It's been a while since my last meal
He says "But you're a woman
Just run along back home
Who's keeping your babies?
Does your husband know you're out alone?"
Mister, please hire me
The boxcars are locked again
And I got two long arms
And they're as strong as they are thin
He says "Lady I don't know where you come from
But you better go back again
You go and see the preacher
And repent from your sin"
And I just wanted to work on the railroad
I just wanted to drive some steel
But he won't hire me
So I lay myself down on the tracks to be killed
