about

A traditional folk railway working song.

lyrics

In eighteen hundred and forty one I put my cord’roy breeches on,
I put my cord’roy breeches on, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, to work upon the railway.

In eighteen hundred and forty two I left the old world for the new,
good was the luck that brought me through, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye,
to work upon the railway.

It’s Pat do this and Pat do that, without a stocking or cravat
and nothing but and old straw hat, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye,
to work upon the railway.
