作词：Allister MacGillivray/Traditional

作曲：Allister MacGillivray/Traditional

In eighteen hundred and forty one

I put my Courdy oy breaches on

I put my Courdy oy breaches 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

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty four

I landed on Columbia's shore

I landed on Columbia's shore

To working on the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty five

When Daniel O'Connell he was alive

When Daniel O'Connell he was alive

While work upon the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

It's Pat do this and Pat do that

Without a stocking or cravat

Nothing but an old straw hat

While worke upon the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty six

They pelted me with stones and sticks

I was in a hell of a fix

While working on the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

In eighteen hundred and forty seven

Biddy McGee she went to heaven

And she left one kid she left eleven

To work upon the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

Fil li me oo ri I ri aye

To work upon the railway
