Mail Train Memories

 

 

Memories Memories

Of A Service Shot To Hell

They Took The Mail Right Off the Rail

And Took Our Jobs As Well.

No R.P.O., No Mail To Throw,

R.M.S. Caught In a Squeeze,

Though We Feel A Draft

Where We Got The Shaft

We Still Have Our Memories.

 

Memories, Memories,

Recall Those Years Gone By,

Go Raise The Arm To Catch A Pouch,

Kick Mail Off On The Fly,

Then Face The Case and Time We'd Race,

A Stall Full of Chickens and Bee's,

The Bee's Stung Real Well,

Dead Chicks Stunk Like Hell;

Oh, Those Wonderful Memories.

 

Memories, Memories,

Of A Real Good Bunch of Guys,

Yes Man for Man No Better Clan

Rode O'er the Rails and Ties

We've Had Our Fun, The Job Is Done,

May Our Contacts Never Fail

And At Times Like This

Let Us Reminisce

Memories Of The Railway Mail.

 

 

 

 

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can'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
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Strumming on the old banjo

 

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn
