McAlpine’s Fusilliers

As down the glen came McAlpine's men [00:00:01]

With their shovels slung behind them [00:00:07]

That was in the pub they drank the sub [00:00:11]

And up in the spike you'll find them [00:00:16]

They sweated blood and they washed down mud [00:00:20]

With pints and quarts of beer [00:00:25]

And now we're on the road again [00:00:29]

With McAlpine's Fusiliers [00:00:33]

I stripped to the skin with the Darky Finn [00:00:37]

Way down upon the Isle of Grain [00:00:41]

With the Horseface Toole and I knew the rule [00:00:46]

No money if you stop for rain [00:00:50]

McAlpine's god was a well filled hod [00:00:54]

Your shoulders cut to bits and seared [00:00:58]

And woe to he who looks for tea [00:01:02]

With McAlpine's Fusiliers [00:01:07]

I remember the day that the Bear O'Shea [00:01:11]

Fell into a concrete stairs [00:01:15]

What the Horseface said when he saw him dead [00:01:19]

Well it wasn't what the rich call prayers [00:01:23]

I'm a navvy short was the one retort [00:01:27]

That reached unto my ears [00:01:31]

When the going is rough well you must be tough [00:01:35]

With McAlpine's Fusiliers [00:01:38]

I've worked till the sweat has had me bet [00:02:14]

With Russian Czech and Pole [00:02:18]

On shuddering jams up in the hydro dams [00:02:22]

Or underneath the Thames in a hole [00:02:25]

I grafted hard and I've got me cards [00:02:29]

And many a gangers fist across me ears [00:02:33]

If you pride your life don't join by Christ [00:02:37]

With McAlpine's Fusiliers [00:02:41]
