Paroles
1. Eighteen hundred and thirty one,
That's the year when I begun,
That's the year when I begun,
A-workin' on the railroad.
Patsy ory ory aye,
Patsy ory ory aye,
Patsy ory ory aye,
A-workin' on the railroad.
2. Eighteen hundred and thirty-two,
Looking around for something to do,
Looking around for something to do,
A-workin' on the railroad.
3. Eighteen hundred and thirty-three,
Section boss a-driving me…
4. Eighteen hundred and thirty-four,
Hands and feet were getting sore…
5. Eighteen hundred and thirty-five,
Felt like I was more dead than alive…
6. Eighteen hundred and thirty-six,
Kicked a couple of dynamite sticks…
7. Eighteen hundred and thirty-seven,
Found myself on the way to heaven…
8. Eighteen hundred and thirty-eight,
A-picking the lock in the pearly gate…
9. Eighteen hundred and thirty-nine,
I found the angels drinking wine,
They gave me a harp and crown divine,
Overlooking the railroad.
10. Eighteen hundred and thirty-ten,
Found myself on the earth again…
11. Eighteen hundred and thirty-eleven,
Railroad sent me again to heaven.
It wasn't no different than thirty-seven,
Or workin' on the railroad.
