patrick on the railroad - burl ives lyrics
[intro]
much of the labor of the railroads
was done by chinese and irish immigrants
an irishman was known as a patrick
[verse 1]
in eighteen hundred and forty one
i put my cordoroy britches on
put my cordoroy britches on
to work up on the railway
[chorus]
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
to work up on the railway
[verse 2]
in eighteen hundred and forty two
i left the old world for the new
bad ‘cess the luck that brought me through
to work up on the railway
[chorus]
philly me*oo, re*еye, re*aye
philly mе*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
to work up on the railway
[verse 3]
we left old ireland to come here
and spent our latter days in cheer
our bosses they did drink strong beer
and pat worked on the railway
[chorus]
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
and pat worked on the railway
[verse 4]
it’s “pat do this” and “pat do that”
without a stocking or cravat
nothing but an old straw hat
and pat worked on the railway
[chorus]
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
philly me*oo, re*eye, re*aye
and pat worked on the railway
