Verse 1
As (A major) down the glen came Mc (D major) Alpine's men
With their (A major) shovels (E7) slung be (A major) hind them
'Twas in the pub they (D major) drank the sub
And up in the spike you'll find them
They (A major) sweated blood
and they (D major) washed down mud
With pints and quarts of beer
And (A major) now we're on the (D major) road again
With McAlpine's (A major) (E7) fusiliers (A major)
Verse 2
I (A major) stripped to the skin with (D major) Darky Flynn
Way (A major) down upon the (E7) Isle of (A major) Grain
With Horseface Toole then I (D major) knew the rule
No money if you stop for rain
Mc (A major) Alpine's God was a (D major) well filled hod
Your shoulders cut to bits and seared
And (A major) woe to he who to (D major) looks for tea
With Mc (A major) Alpine's (E7) fusiliers (A major)

Verse 3
I re (A major) member the day that the (D major) Bear O'Shea
Fell (A major) into a (E7) concrete (A major) stairs
What Horseface said, when he (D major) saw him dead
Well, it wasn't what the rich call prayers
I'm a (A major) navvy short was the (D major) one retort
That reached unto my ears
When the (A major) going is rough,
well you (D major) must be tough
With Mc (A major) Alpine's (E7) fusiliers (A major)
Interlude 1
(A major) (D major) (A major) (E7) (A major)
(A major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (E7) (A major)
Verse 4
I've (A major) worked 'till the sweat has (D major) had me bet
With (A major) Russian, (E7) Czech and (A major) Pole
On shuddering jams up in the hydro (D major) dams
Or underneath the Thames in a hole
I (A major) grafted hard and I've (D major) got me cards
And many a ganger's fist across me ears
If you (A major) pride your life, don't (D major) join by Christ
With Mc (A major) Alpine's (E7) fusiliers (A major)
