  C majorC             FF
I'm heading for a life in the land of the free
    C majorC            G+G
Sending every penny home to the family

Off to find fortunes that can't be bought
  G+G
Now Paddy's struck down from a single shot

G+G

They lured the men away they promised wealth and riches
A augmentedA thousand miles from home lying steel and digging ditches
The work would be a challenge nary a soul could stand the trial
These wayfaring boys built the railways toughest mile

Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile!

(Chorus)
C majorC           FF
Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
C majorC              G+G

Eight weeks went by and the path was clear
Fifty-seven men had all disappeared
Not a mention of their name no stone was ever turned
It would be so many years before the truth was ever learned

(Chorus)
Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
Murdered for their troubles, left to die
Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
Their numbers were few but they did the job of many

A augmentedA slug full of lead was the price they were paid
FF         C majorC       G+G
Vigilante justice, prejudice and pride

No one in this valley will be seen again alive

(Chorus)x2
Fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
Murdered for their troubles, left to die
Immigrant sons from Donegal, Tyrone & Derry
Their numbers were few but they did the job of many
