In 1800 and 41'
Me corduroy britches I put on
Me corduroy britches I put on
To work upon the railway
The railway
I'm weary of the railway
Our Paddy works on the railway
1800 and 42', I left the old world for the new
Found myself a job that'll do
While working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 43'
I broke me shovel across me knee
Went to work for the company
While working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 44'
I landed on old Liverpool shore
Many empty hands were sore
From working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 45'
I was happy just to be alive
Happy I was still alive
While working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 46'
I broke me back from carrying bricks
Broke me back from carrying bricks
While working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 47'
Our Paddy was thinking of going to heaven
Now if he left one child, well he left eleven
That the courts can't prove
To work upon the railway
The railway
I'm weary of the railway
Our Paddy works on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches
Pulling switches
Dodging hitches
I was working on the railway
