C F
Down the glen came McAlpine's men
C G C
With their shovels slung behind them
C F
'Twas in the pub that they drank the sub
F
And up in the spike you'll find them
C F
They sweated blood and they washed down mud
F
With their pints and their quarts of beer
C F
And now we're on the road again

[Verse 2]
C F
I've stripped to the skin with my friend Flynn
C G C
Way down in the Isle of Grain
C F
Horseface Tool said "You know the rule
F
No money if you stop for rain!"
C F
McAlpine's God was a well filled hod
F
With his shoulders cut to bits and seared
C F
And woe to he who drinks the tea

C F
Oh, I remember the day that the Bear O'Shea
C G C
Fell into a concrete stairs
C F
What Horseface said, when he saw him dead
F
Well, it wasn't what the rich call prayers
C F
Oh, I'm a navvy short, was the one retort
F
Screaming unto me ears
C F
When the going gets rough, oh well, you must be tough

[Verse 4]
C F
I've worked 'till the sweat has had me bet
C G C
With Russians, Czech's and Poles
C F
On shuddering jams up in the hydro dams
F
Or underneath the Thames in a hole
C F
Yes, I've grafted hard and I've held me cards
F
Had many a ganger's fist across me ears
C F
Oh, if you pride your life don't you join by Christ
C G C
With McAlpine's Fusiliers
