drill, ye tarriers! - susan reed lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
every morning at seven o’clock
there were twenty tarriers workin’ at the rock
the boss comes along and says: “keep still
and come down heavy with the cast-iron drill!”
then drill, ye tarriers, drill!

[chorus]
drill, ye tarriers, drill!
oh, it’s work all day
for the sugar in your tay
down behind the railway
then drill ye tarriers, drill!
and blast
and fire

[verse 2]
the boss was a fine man down to the ground
he married a lady six feet ’round
she baked good bread and she baked it well
but she baked it hard as the holes of h-ll!
then drill, ye tarriers, drill!

[chorus]
drill, ye tarriers, drill!
oh, it’s work all day
for the sugar in your tay
down behind the railway
then drill ye tarriers, drill!
and blast
and fire

[verse 3]
the foreman’s name was tim mccann
by gosh, he was a durn mean man
last week, a premature blast went off
and a mile in the air went big jim goff!
then drill, ye tarriers, drill!

[chorus]
drill, ye tarriers, drill!
oh, it’s work all day
for the sugar in your tay
down behind the railway
then drill ye tarriers, drill!
and blast
and fire

[verse 4]
when next payday came around
jim goff, a dollar short was found
when he asked “what for?” – came this reply:
“you’re docked for the time you was up in the sky!”
then drill, ye tarriers, drill!

[chorus]
drill, ye tarriers, drill!
oh, it’s work all day
for the sugar in your tay
down behind the railway
then drill ye tarriers, drill!
and blast
and fire
