(Sung to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad)
Verse 1:
John's been working on a railroad
To haul our limestone away
Lowndes will rake in all the money
Meanwhile all the taxpayers pay
Orangeville wants a train so badly
They were quick to sell their vote
Now they shake their heads so sadly
'Cause the judge says "That don't float"
Chorus:
Johnny don't you know
As big as you can blow
You can't buy everyone
Johnny stick your mine
Where the sun don't shine
You can't buy everyone
Verse 2:
The train will chug to Owen Sound
And only rocks will make the trip
Paul Martin's waiting with a shovel
To load them on his ship
Can't you hear Melancthon crying
Council won't you stand and fight
We'll be eating rocks for supper
And drinking from a dike
Repeat Chorus and Verse over and over again until Council gets the message
