[verse 1]
in eighteen hundred and forty*one
i put me corduroy breeches on
i put me corduroy breeches on
to work upon the railway

fee*lee*me*oh*ree*oh*ree*ay
fee*lee*me*oh*ree*oh*ree*ay

in eighteen hundred and forty*two
i left the old world for the new
but just for the luck that brought me through
to work upon the railway

’twas then i met miss biddy mcghee
and an elegant wife she made for me
while workin’ on the railway
