Paddy on the Railway Lyrics

In eighteen hundred and forty-one
My corduroy breeches I put on
My corduroy breeches I put on
To work upon the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway
In eighteen hundred and forty-two
I left the old one for the new
That's such a love to plot me to
To work upon the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-three
We hit Chicago what a spree
The Devil got a hold of me
To work upon the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-four
While standing on the great big shore
We layed a track a saw no more
For working on the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway
In eighteen hundred and forty-five
When Daniel O'Connell he was alive
In Kansas City we'd arrived
To work upon the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-six
I'd a pain in me a** from carrying bricks
With your hammers a nails and shovels an picks
A working on the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway
It's Paddy do this an Paddy do that
With bills of stock and our cravat
And nothing but an old silk hat
We're working on the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-eight
Me hands did bristle and me belly did ache
We hired a boat and made a stake
From working on the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-nine
The California hills looked prime
We found some gold and left behind
From working on the railway,
t***le me ory-ory ay, t***le me ory-ory ay
t***le me ory-ory ay, to work upon the railway
