Work, sweat, toil

Underneath the rising Sun

The long hard day had just begun

The sweat of a thousand years

Hammer on the rail

Hammer in that nail

So we sing the night train song

Then the days don't seem so long

When you're working for the railroad

Oh, the night train's coming

Hear the whistle blowing

And the ground start moving

Hey, I'm on my way

I'm going home again

I'm going home again

Oh, the night train's coming

Hear the whistle blowing

And the ground start moving

Oh, I'm on my way

I'm going home again

With the midday Sun

Comes the urge to start to run

But they gone and strapped chains to you

There's a burning in the brain

Freedom is its name

It's the sweat of a thousand years

Hammer on the rail

Hammer in that nail

So you sing the night train song

Then the days don't seem so long

Oh, the night train's coming

Hear the whistle blowing

And the ground start moving

Oh, I'm on my way

I'm going home again

I'm going home again

Work, sweat, toil

When you're working for the railroad

Work, sweat, toil

Oh, the night train's coming

Hear the whistle blowing

And the ground start moving

Oh, I'm on my way

I'm going home again

I'm going home again

Oh, the night train's coming

Hear the whistle blowing

And the ground start moving

Oh, I'm on my way

I'm going home again
