Working on the railway

I was wearing corduroy britches

Digging ditches, pulling switches

Dodging hitches

I was working on the railway

In 1843 I broke me shovel across me knee

And I went to work for a company

On the Leeds and Selby Railway

I was wearing corner -eyed breeches

Digging ditches, pulling switches,

dodging hitches
