I worked for the union, on my very first communion
You know, it never ever ever ever worked out right
So I spent the night sleeping on the railway
I worked for the foundry, it made my mind, it nearly drowned
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said so long amigo, good night
Slept on the railway
The railway, there's no better way
Ooh, the railway
And it's nice to talk to you today
I worked for the miller, a very very nice type of fella
But I could see, it was never gonna work out right
So I slept, spent the night, sleeping on the railway
I worked, in the, somewhere
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah
You know, it never, no no, never no, never no, ever no, worked out right
So I slept so long, spent the night on the railway
The railway, give me a bottle of whiskey
Ooh, the railway
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, there's nothing like the railway
And I'd like to thank someone
For Mezcal and good things that I've done
And for the time you spent
And the friendship begun
And most of all, starry nights on the railway
Oh, I don't know no better way
Than just, ooh, lying back and
Drifting away
I can hear it, I can hear it
