McAlpine's Fusiliers - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

As down the glen came McAlpine's men[00:00:03]

With their shovels slung behind them[00:00:08]

'Twas in the pub they drank the sub[00:00:13]

And up in the spike you'll find them[00:00:18]

They sweated blood and they washed down mud[00:00:22]

With pints and quarts of beer[00:00:26]

And now we're on the road again[00:00:31]

With McAlpine's fusiliers[00:00:35]

I stripped to the skin with Darky Flynn[00:00:39]

Way down upon the isle of grain[00:00:44]

With the Horseface Toole then I knew the rule[00:00:48]

No money if you stop for rain[00:00:52]

McAlpine's God was a well filled hod[00:00:56]

Your shoulders cut to bits and seared[00:01:00]

And woe to he who to looks for tea[00:01:05]

With McAlpine's fusiliers[00:01:09]

I remember the day that the Bear O'shea[00:01:13]

Fell into a concrete stairs[00:01:17]

What the Horseface said when he saw him dead[00:01:21]

Well it wasn't what the rich call prayers[00:01:25]

I'm a navvy short was the one retort[00:01:29]

That reached unto my ears[00:01:33]

When the going is rough well you must be tough[00:01:37]

With McAlpine's fusiliers[00:01:41]

I've worked till the sweat has had me bet[00:02:17]

With Russian Czech and Pole[00:02:21]

On shuddering jams up in the hydro dams[00:02:25]

Or underneath the Thames in a hole[00:02:28]

I grafted hard and I've got me cards[00:02:32]

And many a ganger's fist across me ears[00:02:36]

If you pride your life don't join by Christ[00:02:40]

With McAlpine's fusiliers[00:02:44]
