Poor Paddy On The Railway - The David 'Kid' Jensen Show, July 1984, Live

In 1841, the 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
 As I was working on the railway
 In 1843, I broke the 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
 As I was working on the railway
 In 1844, I landed on the Liverpool shore
 Me belly was empty, me hands were raw
 With working on the railway, the railway
 I'm weary of the railway
 Poor Paddy works on the railway
 In 1845, when Daniel O'Connell he was alive
 When Daniel O'Connell he was alive
 And working on the railway
 I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
 Pulling switches, dodging pitches
 I was working on the railway
 In 1846 I changed my trade to carrying bricks
 I changed my trade to carrying bricks
 To working on the railway
 I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
 Pulling switches, dodging pitches
 As I was working on the railway
 In 1847 poor Paddy was thinking of going to Heaven
 The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven
 To work upon the railway, the railway
 I'm sick to my death of the railway
 Poor Paddy works on the railway
 And I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
 Pulling switches, dodging pitches
 I was working on the railway
