DINAH BLOW YOUR HORN song lyrics by Joel Sattler Dinah Blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been working on the railroad since the day I was born Dinah blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been up every day before the crack of dawn In the dark it don’t matter if you’re white or black if you’re up in the night before the morning cracks just get on the road got to work it jack Because all guts are equal and that’s a fact Dinah Blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been working on the railroad since the day I was born Dinah blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been up every day in the early morn Hunger is a leveler Fear is a God mine is no better than a lightning rod death is a Democrat And you ain’t rich cupid is a brat and life is a —— Dinah Blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been working on the railroad since the day I was born Dinah blow your horn Dinah blow your horn you can’t sing the blues till the sheep are shorn There’s work to be done and fields to plow And complaining to the man is not allowed There’s 24 hours every single day there’s no time to sleep the night away get up you lazy bum stop Making hay do you want to live forever Then you gotta pay Hear the whistle blow Hear the whistle blow it’s time to get to work yes it’s time to go Lord I’m so tired i’m in trouble deep all I want in this life is to go back to sleep my reward for all this work Is a chance to go upstairs where I can go to sleep till no one cares Saint peter please call me I am ready to go Tear up my iou to the company store Dinah Blow your horn Dinah blow your horn I’ve been working on the railroad since the day I was born Dinah blow your horn Dinah blow your horn these blues aint mine so they must be yorn

I've been singing this ditty since I was a young man. I think it requires that explanation that you are either extending the verses are writing a whole new version that can be sung to the tune.
