Drill Ye Tarriers Every morning at seven o’clock you see a gang of oftarriers drilling in the rock;The foreman yells,“Now don’t stand stillCome down heavy on the cast iron drill.” Then drill, ye tarriers drill! (Chorus) Drill, ye tarriers drill. For we work all day without sugar in are taywhen we work for the CP Railway. So it’s drill ye tarriers drill. The boss sent us to drill a hole --He swore and cursed our Irish soul,He cursed the ship that brought us through,To work on the CP railway crew.
