Railroad Song

 
In eighteen hundred and forty-one
The National Railway was begun,
The National Railway was begun,
Working on the Railroad.

CHORUS:

Patsi-atsi-oree-a
Patsi-atsi-oree-a
Patsi-atsi-oree-a 
Working on the railroad.

In 1892 
Looking round for something to do.

In 1893
The National Railway called on me.

In 1894 
I found my back was mighty sore.

In 1895 
I found myself more dead than alive.

In 1896 
I sat on a pack of dynamite sticks.

In 1897 
I found myself on the way to heaven.

In 1898 
I landed at the pearly gate.

In 1899 
A-sailing on the clouds sublime.

In 1890-10 
I started to work all over again.
