Working For The MTA Lyrics

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, workin' for the MTA

I run that 6-line train
I run a 6-line train
I run a 6-line train
Clear from Brooklyn Bridge to Pelham Bay

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 Louisianne

This ain't my daddy's train
This ain't my daddy's train
This ain't my daddy's train
Mama, ain't seen the sun in days

Yeah them hard times are goin' round
Hard times are goin' round
Hard times are goin' round
Bringin' hard luck on New York town

But I'm bankin' on the ATE
Bankin' on the ATE
I'm bankin' on the ATA
Brother Georgie's gonna see me through

Sure it's cold in them tunnels today
Well it's cold in the tunnels today, baby
It's cold in those tunnels today
Mama, workin' for the MTA
Yeah I'm workin' for the MTA
