Although Ive left you darling
Ill soon be back again
Thats what I said in China
Where all the work was dead
I hope you get my letters
Ill write them every day
Ill soon be heading eastwards
Im hammering the nails
Im working on the railroad
I dig away the time
Im singing to the worksong
With memories in mind
Ill sail to Hong Kong harbour
The winds were warmer there
The sweat would roll down my back
While digging at the earth
While talking of you darling
Id show your photograph
And point it over westwards
Way over past the tracks
Im working on the railroad
I dig away the time
Im singing to the worksong
With memories in mind
Im working on the railroad
I dig away the time
Im singing to the worksong
With memories in mind
Of you... of you, oh!
Ive saved every penny, my girl
I hope that you have waited out there
For all my love when I get home
Cause deep down in my heart, theres a hole
Ive saved every penny, my girl
I hope that you have waited out there
For all my love when I get home
Cause deep down in my heart, theres a hole
Ive saved every penny, my girl
I hope that you have waited out there
For all my love when I get home
Cause deep down in my heart, theres a hole
