SONG: THE RAILROAD
ALBUM: PALACE OF GOLD (US RELEASE)
ARTIST: BLUE RODEO (ORIGINAL BY LEE HAZELWOOD)
TABBED BY: STEVEN STREY

INTRO - E5, G

(see FIG. 1 for riff)
Well I'm working on the railroad all day long
Working on the railroad sing my song
Singing 'bout an old love I once knew
Singing 'bout an old love maybe two

CHORUS
I'm working on the railroad
Working on the railroad
Working on the railroad
Working on the railroad
Working, working, working on the... railroad

E5, G

Well I've drove a lot of hot steel in my time
Drank a lot of stuff they call moonshine
Love me a woman, laugh at her jokes
Working on the railroad, always broke

CHORUS

E5, G

Well I go downtown on a Saturday night
Get my pay and there's gonna be a fight
Got me a woman in every town
Working on the railroad, never settle down

CHORUS

E5, G

Well when I die and they bury me
It's down by the tracks I want to be
Don't cry for me friend, just remember this
There ain't much your buddy missed

CHORUS
