Pat Works On The Railway

In Eighteen Hundred and Forty One
They put me corduroy britches on
They put me corduroy britches on
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.
In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-three,
Twas then I met sweet Biddy McGee.
An elegant wife she's been to me,
While working on the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-four
I traveled the land from shore to shore
I traveled the land from shore to shore
While working on the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-five
When Dan O'Connel was alive
When Dan O'Connel was alive
I worked upon the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
It's Pat do this and Pat do that,
Without a stocking or cravat
And nothing but an old straw hat
I worked on the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-six
They pelted me with stones and sticks
I was in an awful fix
While working on the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
Now in Eighteen Hundred and Forty-seven
Biddy McGee she went to heaven
Ere she did she left eleven
To work upon the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-oo-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
