The Pogues - Poor Paddy: chords

G                                    C     G
In 1800 and 41, me corduroy breeches I put on
                     C     G
Me corduroy breeches I put on
    C                          G
To work upon the railway, the railway
                  C   G
I'm weary of the railway
      C          D       G
Poor Paddy works on the railway

Chorus:
G
In 1800 and 42, from Hartlepool I moved to Crewe
                           C              G
Found myself a job to do, working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches,
       C              G
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 43, I broke the shovel across me knee
Went to work for the company on the Leeds
to Selby railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches,
I was working on the Railway

In 1800 and 44, I landed on the Liverpool shore
My belly was empty, me hands were raw
With working on the railway, the railway
I'm sick to my guts of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway

Chorus:
In 1800 and 45, when Daniel O'Connell,
he was alive
When Daniel O'Connell, he was alive
and working on the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches,
I was working on the railway
In 1800 and 46, I changed my trade
to carrying bricks
I changed my trade to carrying bricks
to work upon the railway
I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches,
I was working on the railway

In 1800 and 47, Poor Paddy was thinking
of going to Heaven
The old bugger was thinking of going to Heaven
To work upon the railway, the railway
I'm sick to my death of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway

I was wearing corduroy breeches, digging ditches
Pulling switches, dodging pitches
I was working on the railway
