Railroad Blues (1999 Digital Remaster) - Beastie Boys
Now this song is dedicated

To all the hard workin' pioneers of this country

Setting out discovering the West

Bringin' a railroad to where no man has ever been before

Johnny he worked on a railroad

A poundin' on iron and steel

Workin' his way out West now

The only sure thing's his next meal

America was young

But she was a growin'
Layin' tracks across the prairie
Not knowing where they're going

His momma didn't wanna' leave him
But now he's in the West
She said, "Please don't go"
But he said, "If I don't I'll never rest"
It wasn't always easy

Some of the boys died

Johnny wrote her letters
But he received no replies

Johnny he worked on a railroad

A poundin' on iron and steel

Workin' his way out West now

The only sure thing's his next meal

Johnny reached San Francisco
Tired and broke without a dime

Started panning for gold
Just a hopin' he would find
The gold wasn't a rushin'
But Johnny kept on minin'
Trying to send his Mama something
With the letters he was signing

Then one day Johnny finally got a reply
When he opens Mama's letter, he began to cry
She's a writin' from her deathbed

And this is what she said

"Please don't be mad at me son
Cause tomorrow I'll be dead"

Johnny he worked on a railroad

A poundin' on iron and steel

Workin' his way out West now

The only sure thing's his next meal
