lyrics

Every morning at seven o'clock
There were twenty-seven Tarriers drilling at the rock
The boss comes along and he says, "Keep still
And come down heavy on your cast iron drill."
Chorus
And drill, ye Tarriers, drill
Drill, ye Tarriers, drill
For it's work all day for the sugar in you tay
Down beyond the railway
And drill, ye Tarriers, drill
And blast, and fire.
The boss was a fine man down to the ground
And he married a lady six feet 'round
She baked good bread and she baked it well
But she baked it harder than the hobs of Hell.
chorus
The foreman's name was John McCann
By God, he was a blaming man
Last week a premature blast went off
And a mile in the air went big Jim Goff.
chorus
And when next payday came around
Jim Goff a dollar short was found
When he asked, "What for?" came this reply
"You were docked for the time you were up in the sky."
chorus
