[00:08.642] |
Every morning at seven o’clock |
[00:10.397] |
There were twenty tarriers drilling at the rock |
[00:12.393] |
The boss comes along and he says, “Keep still |
[00:14.390] |
And bear down heavy on the cast iron drill.” |
[00:17.897] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:20.147] |
Drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:22.144] |
For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay |
[00:24.398] |
Down beyond the railway |
[00:26.395] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:28.147] |
And blast, and fire. |
[00:36.391] |
The boss was a fine man down to the ground |
[00:38.143] |
And he married a lady six feet ’round |
[00:40.139] |
She baked good bread and she baked it well |
[00:42.149] |
But she baked it harder than the hobs of Hell. |
[00:44.146] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:46.142] |
Drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:47.897] |
For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay |
[00:50.147] |
Down beyond the railway |
[00:52.144] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[00:53.899] |
And blast, and fire. |
[01:01.898] |
The foreman’s name was John McCann |
[01:03.895] |
By God, he was a blamed mean man |
[01:06.645] |
Last week a premature blast went off |
[01:08.388] |
And a mile in the air went big Jim Goff. |
[01:10.397] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:12.394] |
Drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:14.392] |
For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay |
[01:16.642] |
Down beyond the railway |
[01:18.396] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:20.148] |
And blast, and fire. |
[01:27.893] |
And when next payday came around |
[01:30.144] |
Jim Goff a dollar short was found |
[01:32.641] |
When he asked, “What for?” came this reply |
[01:34.894] |
“You were docked for the time you were up in the sky.” |
[01:36.891] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:38.900] |
Drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:40.640] |
For it’s work all day for the sugar in you tay |
[01:42.893] |
Down beyond the railway |
[01:44.890] |
And drill, ye tarriers, drill |
[01:46.643] |
And blast, and fire. |
