Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill

[Verse 1]
Early in the mornin' at seven o'clock
There are twenty tarriers a-drillin' at the rock
And the boss comes around and he says, "Keep still
Come down heavy on your cast iron drill
And drill, ye tarriers, drill"

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

[Verse 2]
Now, our new foreman was Jim McGann
By golly, he was a blinkin' man
Last week a premature blast went off
And a mile in the sky went big Jim Goff
And drill, ye tarriers, drill

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

[Verse 3]
Now, when next payday come 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

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

[Verse 4]
Now, the boss was a fine man down to the ground
And he married a lady six feet 'round
She baked good bread, and she baked it well
But she baked it as hard as the holes in ...
Well, drill, ye tarriers, drill

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

[Outro]
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
