Lyrics : Poor Paddy on the Railway

In 1841
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 1842
From Hartlepool I moved to Crewe
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 1843
I broke me 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
