The Drillers' Song - The Brothers Four
Early one morning about 7 o'clock
There were 16 terriers working on the rock
The boss came alone and he said keep still
And bare down harder on the cast and drill
And drill ye terriers drill
Drill ye terriers drill
For his work all day for sugar in yer tea
Down behind the railway
And drill ye terriers drill
And blast and fire
The new foreman was John mcann
By gosh he was a mighty hard man
One day a premature blast went off
And a mile in the air shot big Dan Goff now drill ye
Terriers drill
Drill ye terriers drill
For his work all day for sugar in your tea
Down behind the railway
And drill ye terriers drill
And blast and fire
The next months payday came around
Dan Goff a dollar short was found
He asked what for came this reply
You was stop for the time you was up in the sky
Now drill ye terriers drill
Drill ye terriers drill
For his work all day for sugar in yer tea
Down behind the railway
And drill ye terriers drill
And blast and fire
Drill ye terriers drill
For his work all day for sugar in yer tea
Down behind the railway
And drill ye terriers drill
And blast and fire
And blast
