Текст песни: Pat Works On The Railroad + перевод

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)
