The Pomegranate County Irregulars - Drill Ye Tarriers Drill (Remastered)

Early in the morning at seven o'clock
There are twenty tarriers talking at the dock
The boss comes around and he says, Keep still
What I want to hear is your cast iron drill

And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Well you work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill

Now our new foreman was Jim McCann
By blazes, he was a callous man
Last week a premature blast went off
And a mile in the sky went big Jim Goff

And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Well you work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill

And when next payday came around
Jim Goff a dollar short was found
When asked the reason came this reply
You were docked for the time you were up in the sky

And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Well you work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
(All right, drill)

And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Well you work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill

On we go taming rough terrain
Give sweat and soul for some damn train.
Captains of industry and the like
Will get full credit for driving each spike

And it's drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Well you work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
