I  worked  for  the  union
And  on  my  very  first  communion
You  know  it  never  ever,ever,ever  worked  out  right
So  I  spent  the  night  sleepin'on  the  railway
I  worked  for  the  foundry
And  man,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  split,spent  the  night  sleeping  on  the  railway
I  worked  in  the  subway  arc
Oh,yeah,yeah
You  know  it  never,no,no,never,
no,never,no,ever,no,worked  out  right
So  I  said "So  long"and  spent  the  night  on  the  railway
The  railway,give  me  a  bottle  of  whiskey
Ooh,the  railway
Ooh,ooh,ooh,there's  nothin'like  the  railway
And  I'd  like  to  thank  someone
For  mascara  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
Ooh,I  don't  know  no  better  way
Than  just,ooh,lyin'back  an'drifting  away
