All down the glen came McAlpines men with their shovels slung behind them
Chord diagramA augmentedA                          Chord diagramD MajorD
'Twas in the pub that they drank their sup and up in the spike you'll find them
     Chord diagramA augmentedA                      Chord diagramD MajorD
They sweated blood and they washed down mud with pints and quarts of beer
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramA augmentedA
And now we're on the road again with McAlpine's Fusiliers

I stripped to the skin with Darkie Flynn way down upon the Isle of Grain
                                  Chord diagramD MajorD
With the horsefaced Toole, 'cos I knew the rule, no money if you stopped for rain.
  Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramD MajorD
McAlpine's God was a well filled hod, your shoulders cut to bits and seared,
    Chord diagramA augmentedA             Chord diagramD MajorD                           Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramA augmentedA
And woe to he who went to look for tea with McAlpine's Fusiliers

I remember the day that Bear O'Shea fell into a concrete stairs.
Chord diagramA augmentedA                           Chord diagramD MajorD
What Horseface said when he saw him dead well it wasn't what the rich called prayers.
      Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramD MajorD
I'm a navvy short was the one retort that reached unto my ears
         Chord diagramA augmentedA                       Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramA augmentedA
When the going is rough well you must be tough with McAlpine's Fusiliers

I've worked 'til the sweat has had'n me bet, with Russian, Czech and Pole.
Chord diagramA augmentedA                            Chord diagramD MajorD
On shuddering jams up at the hydro dams or underneath the Thames in a hole.
     Chord diagramA augmentedA                        Chord diagramD MajorD
I've grabbed it hard and I've got me cards and many a ganger's fist across me ears.
