Here I sweat
Blastin' through rock in the Promised Land
When I came they said that I would find a better

Though I toil
Dollar a day in the Promised Land
There will come a time when I will find a better

I've been workin' on the railroad
All the live long day
I've been workin' on the railroad
Just tryin' to make my way
I've been workin' on the railroad
Living in this hell
I've been workin' on the railroad
Just to hear the tall man tell me I'm a

[Chink!]
No matter how much I labor at the track
[Chink!]
No matter how many miles I can lay
[Chink!]
The sun'll be always burning on my back
[Chink!]
And I will never see a cooler day
[Chink!]

All you gotta do is take a look
[Chink!]
All you gotta do is be aware
[Chink!]
For if you open up the history book
[Chink!]
You'll find that I'm just barely even there

Here I am
Not the right race in the Promised Land
Guess I should've thought that one day it would matter

Uncle Sam
Says I've no place in the Promised Land
Still I really didn't think that it would matter

Cause I've been working on the railroad
All the live long day
I've been working on the railroad
Just trying to make my way
I've been working on the railroad
Living in this hell
I've been working on the railroad
Just to hear the tall men tell me I'm a

(Chorus)

Here I bleed
Blastin' through rock in the Promised Land
After all this time I haven't found a better

Though I'll die
Dollar a day in the Promised Land
I still hope that those who follow find a better
A better

A better
A better
A better…
