Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill

Thomas Casey, Charles Connelly

[Chorus]
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down behind the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire
And blast, and fire

[Verse 1]
Ev'ry mornin' at seven o'clock
There're twenty tarriers a-drillin' on a rock
The boss comes along, and he says, "Keep still"
He comes down heavy on his cast iron drill

[Chorus]
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down behind the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire
And blast, and fire

[Verse 2]
The new foreman was Gene McCann
By God, he was a blamin' man
Last week a prematurе blast went off
A mile in the air wеnt big Jim Goff

[Chorus]
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down behind the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire
And blast, and fire

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down behind the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire
And blast, and fire

[Verse 3]
The next day payday came around
Jim Goff a dollar short was found
When he asked, "What for?" came this reply
"You were docked for the time you were up in the sky"

[Chorus]
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
Drill, ye tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in your tay
Down behind the railway
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire
And blast, and fire

[Outro]
And blast!
