LYRICS:
IVE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD
1. I've been working on the railroad. All the live long day. I've been working on the rail road, just to pass the time away. Can't you hear the whistle blowing? Rise up so early in the morn! Can't you hear the captain shouting? Dinah, blow your horn! Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow your horn? Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah won't you blow your horn? Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, someone's in the kitchen, I know! Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah, strumming on the old banjo. Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Fee fi fiddley aye, oh- Fee fi fiddley aye, oh! Strumming the old ban-jo!

Dinah's gettin' some action
+Arion661 Yuo do realised Dinah was a term used for female slaves at the time, my grandad always used to sing this my grandm
+Stephen King - I actually did know that. There are a few other verses that were added around the late 1800's that I could never dare sing and wished I had not learned of because I used to love this song. Dinah is a woman's name however, and that particular chorus was written much earlier than the rest of the song during a time when Dinah was used as an endearing term for any maidservant or woman of the house, not just a slave.
+Stephen King - like, I kind of have a thing for folk music. I think in the early seventies if folk or country music had not been so establishment oriented and punk music not relegated to being young peoples music, and seeing that the best punk musicians came from small grassroots towns, Folk Punk could have been a standard merging of two genres of music. Linda Ronstadt and Elvis Costello kind of conceived it later, as punk was mellowed into California New Wave in the later half of the 70's. (sorry, I am a passionate lyricist with a voice that wispers a scream)
Arion661
Arion661 mmmmeeeeeeaaaaaannnnnnnn
My Dad, rest his soul, sang this while we worked on the family's vegetable garden. It's the first song I ever knew.
Mine too!

“I’VE BEEN WORKING ON MY HAMON ALL THE LIVELONG DAY” 🎶
I'm 26 years old, and I'm almost 27 yrs old! I listen to this song on a daily basis. If you see a grown adult walking in a store, or in public, and he's singing this song, IT'S ME!! TRUST ME, this song is AWESOME whatever age you are. I LOVE IT, and sing it all the time.
Eh ok
nah bro if you see a teen in a store who ooks like a 4 year old in a store singin this tune its me
This version is so smooth and I'm addicted to listening to it
“You’re am awful singer Ryuji! It’s awesome!”
Haha, Persona.

This is one of the songs our family would sing in the car when we were traveling on vacation , or moving to another home far away . I've always sung it since then .
Racist
@@aokdon1090 a name caller eh ?
I call it what is, you say name I say blame👀
It's 1 minute 25 seconds long, i couldn't imagine the pain of sitting in a car on a long journey with a family singing this song over and over and over. Is your family Mormon or on acid or something? 🤔
this song is a staple in my family. Along with you are my sunshine....
God I remember this song, my dad's a carpenter and I was homeschooled so I went to most of his jobs and he would put this on the radio when we went to work, good memories 😭
My daughter turns 30 on the 21st of this month and she just came in asked me what was that song I used to make her an her brother sing an it was this one...it's just funny what kids remember when they get older.....I love you mallory...
A really nice song to listen to. My dad used to sing this song to me when I was little. The memories...
Kids nowadays will never know the joy of singing this in class 😭 damn i miss 1st grade
Me too
FR
OMG SO MANY CHILD MEMORIES :D I use to sing this song when I was eight with my class and music teacher :3
I had no idea "I've been working on the railroad" and "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah" were the same songs until now.
Mind = Blown
Me too i came here because i have Railroad in my head all the times and i don't know the lyrics and suddenly someone's in the kitchen with Dinah lmao.
Edit typos
It technically isn’t, most historians believe this song is a medley of two separate songs that just kinda merged over time.
The eyes of Texas are upon you, all the live long day
The eyes of Texas are upon you, you can not get away.
Do not think you can escape them, at night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you, till Gabriel blows his horn.
"Sound Like Hell!!" Saw'em off
where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves his broomstick arms and does a parody of each thing you do
I've been working on the railroad
Every pointless day!
I've been working on the railroad
While my life gets pissed away!
Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Shatter my dreams in the morn!
Can't you hear the captain shouting
I wish I was never born!
Civil protection: Shadow of a doubt. The best show ever.
We should have children together
Ok.
XD
Pissed away doesn't make any sense. Thrown away is the right word. And I hope you talked to your therapist.
Jesus gives us a way Out if we are Truly Saved. Such an Amazing Grace. With Unconditional Love. I'm Thankful For Ever and Dina.
Oh Ryuji and Morgana...
YESSS
HOLY CRAP I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
YESSS
YESSSSS
YESS
cara al sol !!!!
No soy el único que se dio cuenta

Claramente Franco y la Falange la plagiaron

What a song
It's awesome
You have such a pleasant voice. These songs bring back pleasant childhood memories.
I’m in the kitchen with Dinah. You guys caught me lol !
Childhood i miss you💔💔💔
I love these! Remind me of my childhood!
We sang this on the little school bus when I was in nursery school (called pre-school these days). I was 4, it was 1960.
Our bus driver used to honk the horn to the song.
You remember that as young as age 4 is a blessing.
Beautiful voice
This brings back SO many memories from the fourth grade.
I love this song sosososososososososososos much I listen too it all the time
Richard Andreano me too it's a old song
Richard Andreano i love this song to
I remember this song when I was 4 years old
Ryuji and Morgana sing this song😍😍
Someone from persona 5 ???
Me
Just saw Ryuji singing this for the first time at Mementos.
Yep. That includes me.
Sup
yah but jojo too
Phoebe Halliwell turning this song into a vanquish theme song was hilarious
When I was younger my parents never bought me a tablet till I was like 5-6 so I would play my Nabi and this song was on there and it was my favorite on there
As a railroad enthusiast over here we had the Jersey Central or CNJ, Lackawanna and Erie lines that ran here throughout NJ.
I came here from persona 5
How?

If you were at my local bowling alley in the Arcade yesterday, and you heard somebody on a ventilator, casually singing this song, "IT WAS ME!!!!!!" me, and my best friend!!!!

Cara al sol con la camisa nueeeeeva... ✋🇪🇸
If you guys were spanish, you would notice this songs sounds very very similar to "Cara al sol" which is a hymn of the ultraconservative "Falange Española" Very funny xd.
I knew this whithout lyrics from a game and I loved it, almost panicked when I heard cara al sol and though my beloved childhood song was a fascist song
@Samspore185 fuck no
Yes, but this song goes back to at least the 1890's, and predates "Cara al Sol" by many decades.
@@robertsharp67 So maybe the Falangists borrowed the melody from America. Wouldn't be the only thing Franco and friends stole.
Except this song was made by irish americans
my friend colton was singing that song too me I was laying down on his lap while he was singing that song too me back in June 14th 2022 Vicky Jeanna Trisha Ava and JC was there to and I love this song it reminds me of colton Lundberg from Kentucky
The melody is like cara al sol
This literally changed my life
1.25 speed is the right way

I listened to this song in elementary school when I was really young I sang it
I remembered that train song when I was little
El principio es como cara al sol 🇪🇸
Also heard of the New York Central which had a great steam fleet like their Hudsons and Mohawk locomotives.
The ultimate grinding song
True classic.
*HOLY TONY IN THE BUILDING*

here from Joyce's Ulysses (p.573 of Penguin edition) - being french, i never heard that song before !
I loved America
Great performance of a wonderful song. Who is the artist?
Listen to this at 1.25 speed, it's awesome. Great song, brings back memories
It’s 11:30pm should be sleeping but my adhd brought be back to this song🤣
When I was little, I always imagined that Dinah looked a little bit like Daisy Duck, but that she'd have, like, yellow feathers on the top of her head and a shorter beak.
+Ms3queen I don't know why, I just did.
+Ms3queen LOL
I remember singing this song in Elementary!!!

@@norikofu509 unfortunately
I sung this in my 1st grade class. I had to reach all the way back in my repressed memories just to get one word from this song to Google "nursery rhyme about railroads" lmao
Wooow! I've been working on a dish line,
all the live long day.
I've been working on a dish line,
just to scrape the scraps away.
Can you hear the washer running
cleaning the plates happily?
Can you hear the bus boy singing:
Take those scrapes from me?

INTERESTING, REMINDS ME OF MY OWN FAMILY, OF OLD BAKER STATION AND BAKER ROAD IN ANTIOCH AND NASHVILLE
TRADUCCION:
Cara al sol con la camisa nueva
que tú bordaste en rojo ayer,
me hallará la muerte si me lleva
y no te vuelvo a ver.
Formaré junto a mis compañeros
que hacen guardia sobre los luceros,
impasible el ademán,
y están presentes en nuestro afán.
Si te dicen que caí,
me fui al puesto que tengo allí.
Volverán banderas victoriosas
al paso alegre de la paz
y traerán prendidas cinco rosas:
las flechas de mi haz.
Volverá a reír la primavera,
que por cielo, tierra y mar se espera.
Arriba escuadras a vencer
que en España empieza a amanecer
Pille la Rivereferencia
pensaba que era el unico que le veia el parecido
Drunk here. Anybody else sangun this here ole tune? Dayum took me forever to get the question mark. Hickyup.
se parece al cara al sol al principio
i love this song

The lovely Carol Merrill and game show announcer Jay Stewart on the old railroad pump car, which is the "ZONK prize" during the early 1970s.
This was my favorite song of all time when I was a little kid
Delightful!
