Yes sir, you’ve come to the right place

No need to speak, It's written on your face

You’ve got the south now that you’ve won the war

You’re young, it’s natural to want more

You’ve come to us, cause we’re the best

You need our help, you want the west

You’ve come to the right place

This land between us sir it isn’t tame

Yeah there’s already people on the land you’ll claim

There’s a cost to this, you understand?

We're taking blood, but gold, and lots of land

And a rail line I'll build for you

If its with your cash, protection too

You’ve come to the right place

A job this big’ll take 5000 men

We barely got 600 ex-slaves and Irishmen

The Chinese are here,

Crew:

but they’re too small

This work is tough

Bossman:

but they built China’s Great Wall

They all want work, they’ve all got grit,

The fact they’re here at all, proves they don’t quit.

They’ve come to the right place

Blast through mountains 8 inches a day

Ain’t nothing on Earth stands in our way

For every mile of track you give us land

that you’ve stolen from the Indians

And when people show up cash in hand

Asking “Who do we pay for some land?”

You’ve come to the right place
