in my chior we have to sing this. our lyrics are a little diffrent. my chior teacher actually helped write this song.

There are versions with 3, 4, 5 or 7 verses. If you google it, you 'll find it. This version I know about 40 years and I have it in my mind so.

you mean he adapted it? it's a traditional irish working song from the building of the great railway.

I think, it is not important to discuss that. This is folk and it is a fine song and it is a song about working with a little ironic smile.

Thanks for posting

This song brings a tear to my left eye every time I hear it. It reminds me back in the day when I worked at the mines all day, just to come home to my wife Jebtha and a hearty supper. Thank you sir.

Thanks for your comment. I never did a job in the mines, but my iob was to build streets, so I know what it means.

Have a good week

Hi xFr, thank you for the tip, I know that, but my speaking is always correct. Hope, you can excuse that and thanks for listening until the end. In the 1st verse it is correct.

Regards

Michael
