lyrics
Workin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
Workin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
I'm workin’ for big John Henry and he's so hard to please
I've been all around this world
Used to have a big grey horse, Arrow was his name
Used to have a big grey horse, Arrow was his name
They caught me making liquor and they told me get off their plain
I've been all around this world
Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone
It's not the hanging that I mind it's laying in the grave so long
I've been all around this world
Single girl single girl go spend your days in town
Single girl single girl go spend your days in town
Just wait til you get married you'll work till the sun goes down
I've been all around this world
Lulu oh lulu won't you open up that door
Lulu oh lulu won't you open up that door
Before I come and open it with my old 44
I've been all around this world
Diggin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
Diggin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
Diggin’ for big John Henry and he's so hard to please
I've been all around this world
I’ve been all around this world
I've been all around this world
Workin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
I'm workin’ for big John Henry and he's so hard to please
I've been all around this world
Used to have a big grey horse, Arrow was his name
Used to have a big grey horse, Arrow was his name
They caught me making liquor and they told me get off their plain
I've been all around this world
Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone
Hang me oh hang me and I'll be dead and gone
It's not the hanging that I mind it's laying in the grave so long
I've been all around this world
Single girl single girl go spend your days in town
Single girl single girl go spend your days in town
Just wait til you get married you'll work till the sun goes down
I've been all around this world
Lulu oh lulu won't you open up that door
Lulu oh lulu won't you open up that door
Before I come and open it with my old 44
I've been all around this world
Diggin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
Diggin’ on a new railroad, mud up to my knees
Diggin’ for big John Henry and he's so hard to please
I've been all around this world
I’ve been all around this world
I've been all around this world

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovansupported by 26 fans who also own “New Railroad”
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
