Work Upon The Railway Lyrics

Mastertune Work Upon The Railway

I stand upon the line, with my hands on my ears
I look back to you, I see you disappear,
You call me a fool, and I think it's right,
Take the second best of body, body and mind.
(I tell you) Come with me, come with me,
Come with me into the darkness,
Come with me on the battlefield tonight.
We fight again the fight.
In eighteen hundred forty-one, my corduroy
Breeches I put on to work upon the railway,
To work upon the railway.
In eighteen hundred forty-three, I paid my
Passage cross the sea to work upon the railway,
To work upon the railway,...
From New York to Amerikee.
(I tell you) Come with me, come with me,
Come with me into the darkness,
Come with me on the battlefield tonight.
We fight again the fight.
