[intro]
well, up in the mountains and down in the glens
the boilers are splashing with indian meal
from outta the ~~skelts~~ (scailps)[?], the hobbles (hovels?)[?], and dens
they followed the sound of bells as they peel

[hook]
indian meal! indian meal!
indian meeeaaal!

[verse 1]
fightin’ our way over necks of auld women and
half+starving children with elbows and fists
stuffin hodge+podge[?] at the can[?] and the noggin[?]
and the covenant[?] splattered right over the ditch
with bony auld fingers and bony auld pegs
they come with their tickets each day for the dregs

[verse 3]
in dublin so far they cure[?] hunger[?] and warts[?]
the quakers all sit for penny a quart
a penny and heavens[?] will get you bread too
for the dunking[?] the yella’ be indian stew

there’s ships leavin’ full of pigs, heifers, and lambs
some transportin’ convicts to van diemaen’s land
we’re hemorrhagin’ barrels of b+tter and grain
and all that comes back in and all that remains is

[hook]
indian meal! indian meal!
indian meeeaaal!
youh!

[outro]
they’re pavin’ the streets of americay
with gold at your feet for a dollar a day
while here on the works we make botharin bui
for the yella’ or barely a shillin’ a piece
