Been working on the railroad, a dollar and dime a day
Three women waiting on a Saturday night just to draw my pay.
3. I like to work, I'm rolling all the time,
I like to work, rolling all the time,
I can carve my initials on a mule's behind.
4. Good morning, Captain—Good morning, son
Good morning, Captain—Good morning, son
You need another mule skinner on your little mill run?
5. Hey, little water boy, bring your bucket round
Hey, little water boy, bring your bucket round
If you don't like your job, put your bucket down.
6. Good morning, Captain—good morning, son.
