1842

Pat do this, Pat do that
Without our shoes, without our hat
Nothing in the world but an old straw hat
Workin' on the railroad

Rug shugaroo, shug sugaroo
Sugar in the cream shaw, how do you do?
Just on the rail road, folly follaroo
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo

Eighteen hundred and forty two
I didn't know what I should do
Sailed across the ocean blue
Work all on the railroad

Rug shugaroo, shug sugaroo
Sugar in the cream shaw, how do you do?
Just on the rail road, folly follaroo
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo

Eighteen hundred and forty three
I set out across the sea
Didn't expect to see poor me
Working on the railroad

Rug shugaroo, shug sugaroo
Sugar in the cream shaw, how do you do?
Just on the rail road, folly follaroo
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo

Eighteen hundred and forty four
I landed on the foreign shore
Didn't expect to see me more
Working on the railroad

Rug shugaroo, shug sugaroo
Sugar in the cream shaw, how do you do?
Just on the rail road, folly follaroo
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo

Railroad comes, we'll take a ride
Here we go side by side
Here we go side by side
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo

Rug shugaroo, shug sugaroo
Sugar in the cream shaw, how do you do?
Just on the rail road, folly follaroo
Johnny comes pickin' on the banjo
