Frankie Laine The Tarrier Song
Every morning at seven o clock
There were twenty tarriers a workin at the rock
The boss comes along and he says keep still
And come down heavy on the cast iron drill
And drill ye tarriers drill
Drill ye tarriers drill
It's work all day for sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
So drill ye tarriers drill
A tarriers nothin but a hard workin man
Who gets in his livin while he can
There wouldn't be a rail road acomin through
If there weren't real men on the rock blastin crew
Drill ye tarriers drill
Drill ye tarriers drill
It's work all day for sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway drill ye tarriers drill
A tarriers gal has gotta be tough
Cos tnt is the darndest stuff
So take my advice girls learn not to cry
When your rock blastin man's blowin a mile in the sky
Drill ye tarriers drill
Drill ye tarriers drill
It's work all day for sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
Drill ye tarriers drill
A tarriers life ain't long
To live it full a mans gotta be strong
The things he needs when his work is through
Is his woman a beer and some muligan stew
Drill ye tarriers drill
Drill ye tarriers drill
It's work all day for sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
So drill ye tarriers drill
Can he blast and fire
Can he last and fire
And drill ye tarriers drill
