Although I've left you darling |
|
I'll soon be back again |
|
That's what |
|
I said in |
|
China Where all the work was dead |
|
I hope you get my letters |
|
I'll write them every day |
|
I'll soon be heading eastwards |
|
I'm hammering the nails |
|
I'm working on the railroad |
|
I dig away the time |
|
I'm singing to the worksong |
|
With memories in mind |
|
I'll sail to |
|
Hong Kong harbour |
|
The winds were warmer there |
|
The sweat would roll down my back |
|
While digging at the earth |
|
While talking of you darling |
|
I'd show your photograph |
|
And point it over westwards |
|
Way over past the tracks |
|
I'm working on the railroad |
|
I dig away the time |
|
I'm singing to the worksong |
|
With memories in mind |
|
I'm working on the railroad |
|
I dig away the time |
|
I'm singing to the worksong |
|
With memories in mind |
|
Of you... of you, oh! |
|
I've saved every penny, my girl |
|
I hope that you have waited out there |
|
For all my love when |
|
I get home |
|
Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole? |
|
I've saved every penny, my girl |
|
I hope that you have waited out there |
|
For all my love when |
|
I get home |
|
Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole? |
|
I've saved every penny, my girl |
|
I hope that you have waited out there |
|
For all my love when |
|
I get home |
|
Cause deep down in my heart, there's a hole? |
