Lyrics

[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.
