Authority Zero - Paddy on the Railway Lyrics
In 1841 me corduroy breeches I put onMe corduroy breeches I put onTo work upon the railway, the railwayI am weary of the railwayPoor Paddy works on the railwayIn 1842 from HartlepooleI moved to CreweAnd I found myself a job to doWorking on the railwayI was wearing corduroy breeches,Digging ditches, pulling switches, dodging hitchesI was working on the railwayIn 1843 I broke me shovel across me kneeAnd I went to work with the companyOn the Leeds and Selvy RailwayI was wearing corduroy breeches,Digging ditches, pulling switches, dodging hitchesI was working on the railwayIn 1844 I landed on the Liverpool shoreMe belly was empty, me hands were rawWith working on the railway, the railwayI am weary of the railwayPoor Paddy works on the railwayIn 1845 when Danny O'Connell he was aliveDanny O'Connell he was aliveAnd working on the railwayI was wearing ....In 1846 I changed my trade from carrying bricksI changed my trade from carrying bricksTo working on the railwayI was wearing ....In 1847 poor Paddy was thinking of going to heavenPoor Paddy was thinking of going to heavenTo work upon the railway, the Milky WayI'm weary of the railwayPoor Paddy works on the railwayI was wearing ....
