Lyrics McAlpine's Fusiliers (Live at The Gate Theatre, Dublin 4/26/1966) - The Dubliners
As
down
the
glen
came
McAlpine's
men
With
their
shovels
slung
behind
them
'Twas
in
the
pub
they
drank
the
sub
And
up
in
the
spike
you'll
find
them
They
sweated
blood
and
they
washed
down
mud
With
pints
and
quarts
of
beer
And
now
we're
on
the
road
again
With
McAlpine's
fusiliers
I
stripped
to
the
skin
with
Darky
Flynn
Way
down
upon
the
Isle
of
Grain
With
the
Horseface
Toole
then
I
knew
the
rule
No
money
if
you
stop
for
rain
McAlpine's
God
was
a
well
filled
hod
Your
shoulders
cut
to
bits
and
seared
And
woe
to
he
who
to
looks
for
tea
With
McAlpine's
fusiliers
I
remember
the
day
that
the
Bear
O'Shea
Fell
into
a
concrete
stairs
What
the
Horseface
said,
when
he
saw
him
dead
Well,
it
wasn't
what
the
rich
call
prayers
navvy
short
was
the
one
retort
That
reached
unto
my
ears
When
the
going
is
rough,
well
you
must
be
tough
With
McAlpine's
fusiliers
I've
worked
till
the
sweat
[Incomprehensible]
had
me
bet
With
Russian,
Czech
and
Pole
On
shuddering
jams
up
in
the
hydro
dams
Or
underneath
the
Thames
in
a
hole
I
grafted
hard
and
I've
got
me
cards
And
many
a
ganger's
fist
across
me
ears
If
you
pride
your
life,
don't
join
by
Christ
With
McAlpine's
fusiliers
