Lyrics and Activity Notes

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 blowin’, 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’ 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, strummin’ on the old banjo and singin’
Fee-fi-fid-dl-ee-i-o, fee-fi-fid-dl-ee-i-o, fee-fi-fid-dl-ee-i-o
Strummin’ on the old banjo
