In eighteen hundred and forty-one Me corduroy breeches i put on Me corduroy breeches i put on To work upon the railway, The railway I'm weary of the railway Poor paddy works on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-two From hartlepool i moved to crewe An i Found myself a job to do A working on the railway I was wearing corduroy breeches Digging ditches, pulling switches Dodging pitches, i was Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-three I broke the shovel across me knee I went to work for the company On the leeds to selby railway I was wearing corduroy breeches Digging ditches, pulling switches Dodging pitches, i was Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-four I landed on the liverpool shore Me belly was empty me hands were raw With working on the railway, the railway I'm weary of the railway Poor paddy works on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-five When daniel o'connell he was alive When daniel o'connell he was alive And working on the railway I was wearing corduroy breeches Digging ditches, pulling switches Dodging pitches, i was Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-six I changed my trade from carrying bricks I changed my trade from carrying bricks To working on the railway I was wearing corduroy breeches Digging ditches, pulling switches Dodging pitches, i was Working on the railway In eighteen hundred and forty-seven Poor paddy was thinking of going to heaven Poor paddy was thinking of going to heaven To work upon the railway, the railway I'm wearyof the railway Poor paddy works on the railway I was wearing corduroy breeches Digging ditches, pulling switches Dodging pitches, i was Working on the railway
