Paddy On The Railway

In 1841
Me corduroy breeches I put on
Me corduroy breeches I put on
To work upon the railway

In 1843
I broke me shovel across me knee
And went to work with the company
In the Leeds and Selby Railway

Me belly was empty, me hands were sore
With workin' on the railway

Changed me trade from carryin' bricks
