New Railroad

New Railroad - Crooked Still

Workin on a new railroad mud up to my knees

Workin on a new railroad mud up to my knees

I'm working for big John henry and he's so hard to please

I've been all around this world

Used to have a big grey horse arrow was his name

Used to have a big grey horse arrow was his name

They caught me making liquor

And they told me get off their plain

I've been all around this world

Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone

Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone

It's not the hanging that I mind

It's laying in the grave so long

I've been all around this world

Single girl single girl go spend your days in town

Single girl single girl go spend your days in town

Just wait til' you get married

You'll work till the sun goes down

I've been all around this world

Won't you open up that door

Won't you open up that door

Before I come and open it with my old 44

I've been all around this world

Diggin on a new railroad mud up to my knees

Diggin on a new railroad mud up to my knees

Diggin for big John henry and he's so hard to please

I've been all around this world

I've been all around this world

I've been all around this world
