Down at the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
Some folks go to work and others take vacations
One took Melinda to Cal-i-for-ni-o
Oh don't go Melinda, please don't go
You didn't see the teacake I brung you from the fair
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 that old banjo
And singing fee fi fiddle-e-i-o, fee fi fiddle-de-i-o-o-o, fee fi fiddle-de-i-o strumming on that old banjo
Some go to work, and others on vacation
One of'em took Melinda to cal-i-for-ni-a
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
Some folks go to work and others take vacations
One took Melinda to Cal-i-for-ni-o
Oh don't go Melinda, please don't go
You didn't see the teacake I brung you from the fair
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 that old banjo
And singing fee fi fiddle-e-i-o, fee fi fiddle-de-i-o-o-o, fee fi fiddle-de-i-o strumming on that old banjo
Some go to work, and others on vacation
One of'em took Melinda to cal-i-for-ni-a
