I’ve been working on the railroad,
all the live-long day.
I’ve been working on the railroad,
to pass the time away.

Can’t you hear the whistle blowing,
Wake up so early in the morn.
Can you here the whistle blowing,
Dinah, blow your horn.

Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow, your horn, your horn.

Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow your horn.

There’s someone in the kitchen with Dinah,
There’s someone in the kitchen I know, I know.
There’s someone in the kitchen with Dinah,
…and he’s strumming on the ole banjo.

Strumming, strumming.
He’s strumming on the o-ole banjo, banjo.
Stumming, strumming.
He’s strumming on the o-ole banjo.
