The corduroy breeches I put on

Me corduroy breeches I put on

From Hartlepool I moved to Crewe

Found myself a job to do

In eighteen hundred and forty-four

With working on the railway, the railway

When Daniel O'Connell he was alive
33
When Daniel O'Connell he was alive

In eighteen hundred and forty-six
40
I changed my trade to carrying bricks
41

45
Dodging pitches, as I was
46
Working on the Railway
47
In eighteen hundred and forty-seven
48
Poor Paddy was thinking of going to Heaven
49
The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven
50
To work upon the railway, the railway
51
I'm sick to my death of the railway
52
Poor Paddy works on the railway
53
I was wearing corduroy breeches
54
Digging ditches, pulling switches
55
Dodging pitches, as I was
