Paddy on the Railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-one

Me corduroy breeches I put on

Me corduroy breeches I put on

To work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-three

I broke me shovel across me knee

And went to work with the company

In the Leeds and Selby Railway

Timmery ory-ory-ay, Timmery ory-ory-ay

Timmery ory-ory-ay, who worked upon the railway

Timmery ory-ory-ay, Timmery ory-ory-ay

Timmery ory-ory-ay, who worked upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-four

I landed on the Liverpool shore

Me belly was empty, me hands were soar

With workin' on the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty-six

I changed me trade from carryin' bricks

Changed me trade from carryin' bricks

To work upon the railway
