I've been working on the railroad 
 All the live-long day. 
 I've been working on the railroad 
 Just to pass the time away. 
 
 Don't you hear the whistle blowing, 
 Rise up so early in the morn; 
 Don'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 
 Strummin' on the old banjo! 
 
 fi, fie, fiddly-i-o 
 Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o 
 Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o 
 Strummin' on the old banjo. 
 
 Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o 
 Strummin' on the old banjo.
