[00:08.642]Every morning at seven o’clock
[00:10.397]There were twenty tarriers drilling at the rock
[00:12.393]The boss comes along and he says, “Keep still
[00:14.390]And bear down heavy on the cast iron drill.”
[00:17.897]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:20.147]Drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:22.144]For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay
[00:24.398]Down beyond the railway
[00:26.395]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:28.147]And blast, and fire.
[00:36.391]The boss was a fine man down to the ground
[00:38.143]And he married a lady six feet ’round
[00:40.139]She baked good bread and she baked it well
[00:42.149]But she baked it harder than the hobs of Hell.
[00:44.146]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:46.142]Drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:47.897]For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay
[00:50.147]Down beyond the railway
[00:52.144]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[00:53.899]And blast, and fire.
[01:01.898]The foreman’s name was John McCann
[01:03.895]By God, he was a blamed mean man
[01:06.645]Last week a premature blast went off
[01:08.388]And a mile in the air went big Jim Goff.
[01:10.397]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:12.394]Drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:14.392]For it’s work all day for sugar in you tay
[01:16.642]Down beyond the railway
[01:18.396]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:20.148]And blast, and fire.
[01:27.893]And when next payday came around
[01:30.144]Jim Goff a dollar short was found
[01:32.641]When he asked, “What for?” came this reply
[01:34.894]“You were docked for the time you were up in the sky.”
[01:36.891]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:38.900]Drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:40.640]For it’s work all day for the sugar in you tay
[01:42.893]Down beyond the railway
[01:44.890]And drill, ye tarriers, drill
[01:46.643]And blast, and fire.
