McAlpines Fusiliers - The Rumjacks[00:00:00]
Written by:The Rumjacks[00:00:00]
As down the glen came Mcalpines men with their shovels slung behind them[00:00:07]
Twas in the pub that drank the sub[00:00:14]
And up on the spike you'll find them[00:00:18]
They sweated blood and they washed down mud with pints and quarts of beer[00:00:22]
And now we're on the road again with mcalpine's fusiliers[00:00:29]
I stripped to the skin with darkie Flynn way down upon the isle of grain[00:00:36]
With that horsed face o'toole sure we knew the rule[00:00:44]
No money if you stopped for rain[00:00:47]
Mcalpine's god was a well filled hod[00:00:51]
Your shoulders cut to bits and seared[00:00:55]
And woe to he who looked for tea with mcalpine's fusiliers[00:00:59]
I remember the day that bear o'shea fell into a concrete stairs[00:01:36]
What horse face said when he saw him dead[00:01:44]
It wasn't what the rich called prayers[00:01:47]
I'm a navvy short was the one retort that reached unto my ears[00:01:51]
When the going's rough sure you must be tough with mcalpine's fusiliers[00:01:59]
I've worked till the sweat nearly had me bet with Russian Czech and Pole[00:02:06]
On shuddering jams up the hydro dams or underneath the Thames in a hole[00:02:14]
I've grabbed it hard[00:02:21]
And I've got me cards and many a ganger's fist across me ears[00:02:23]
If you pride your life don't join by Christ with mcalpine's fusiliers[00:02:28]
If you pride your life don't join by Christ with mcalpine's fusiliers[00:02:36]
