[verse 1]
in eighteen hundred and forty+one
i put me corduroy breeches on
i put me corduroy breeches on
to work upon the railway

fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay
fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay
to work upon the railway

in eighteen hundred and forty+two
i left the old world for the new
but just for the luck that brought me through
to work upon the railway

fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay
fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay

’twas then i met miss biddy mcghee
and an elegant wife she made for me
while workin’ on the railway

in eighteen hundred and forty+eight
i learned to drink my whiskey straight
an elegant drink that can’t be beat
for workin’ on the railway

fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay
fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay

fee+lee+me+oh+ree+oh+ree+ay
