Paddy On The Railway

In eighteen hundred and forty one
Me corduroy britches I put on
Me corduroy britches I put on
To work upon the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty two
I left the old world for the new
Bad cess to the luck that brought me through
To work upon the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty three
We hit Chicago on a spree
The devil got a hold of me
While working on the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty four
While standin' on the great big shore
We laid a track and saw no more
For workin' on the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen and hundred and forty five
When Daniel O'Connell was alive
In Kansas City we derived
To work upon the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty six
I'd a pain in me arse from carrying bricks
With your hammers and nails and shovels and picks
A-working on the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

It's 'Paddy, do this' and 'Paddy do that'
With doles of stock and our cravat
And nothing but an old straw hat
We're working on the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty eight
Me hands did blister, me belly did ache
We heard of gold and made a stake
From working on the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty nine
The California hills looked fine
We found some gold and left behind
The workings of the railway

[Chorus]
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, tirramy oh re oh re ay
Tirramy oh re oh re ay, to work upon the railway
