Текст песни Pat Works On the Railroad - Cisco Houston

In eighteen hundred and forty one
They put me corduroy britches on
They put me corduroy britches on
To work upon the railway.
Chorus:
Filli-me-oo-ree-aye-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-aye-ree-ay
Filli-me-oo-ree-aye-ree-ay
To work upon the railway.
Now in eighteen hundred and forty-two
I left the old world for the new
Bad cess to the luck that brought me through
To work upon the railway.
Chorus:
Well, it's pat do this and pat do that,
Without a stocking or cravat
And nothing for an old straw hat
While working on the railway.
Chorus:
Now in eighteen hundred and forty-three,
Twas then i met sweet biddy mcgee.
Ah, an elegant wife she's been to me,
While working on the railway.
Chorus:
Now in eighteen hundred and forty-seven
Sweet biddie mcgee she went to heaven
If she left one child she left eleven
To work upon the railway.
Chorus:
Now in eighteen hundred and forty-eight
I learned to drink me whiskey straight
It's an elegant drink that can't be beat
For working on the railway.
Chorus (twice)
