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
