Workin’ for the MTA

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, it's cold in them tunnels today Well, it's cold in them tunnels today It's cold down in those tunnels today Mama, working for the MTA [Verse 2] I run that six-line train I run a six-line train I run a six-line train Clear from Brooklyn Bridge to Pelham Bay [Verse 3] I'm the son of a railroad man I'm the son of a railroad man I'm the son of a railroad man Born and raised back in south Louisian' [Verse 4] This ain't my daddy's train This ain't my daddy's train This ain't my daddy's train Mama, I ain't seen the sun in days [Verse 5] Yeah, them hard times are going around Hard times are going around Hard times are going around Bringing hard luck on New York town [Verse 6] But I'm banking on the A-T-U Banking on the A-T-U I'm banking on the A-T-U Brother Georgie's gonna see me through [Verse 1] So, it's cold in them tunnels today Well, it's cold in them tunnels today, babe It's cold in those tunnels today Mama, working for the MTA [Refrain] Yeah, I'm working for the MTA
