^CmEarly in the morning at seven o'clock ther^G7e are twenty Tarriers a drilling at the rock, An^Cmd the boss comes around and he says, 'Keep still! and ^G7come down heavy on your cast iron drill.'

And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers, ^Cmdrill. ^BbDrill ye Tarrie^Cmrs drill. ^CmWell, you work all day for the ^Ebsugar in your tea, ^G7down behind the railway.. And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers ^Cmdrill, And ^Cmblast and fire.

^G7Now, our new ^Cmforeman was Jim McGann, by ^G7god, he was, a blamed, mean man. Last ^Cmweek a premature blast went off, and a ^G7mile in the sky went Big Jim Goff.

And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers, ^Cmdrill. ^BbDrill ye Tarrie^Cmrs drill. ^CmWell, you work all day for the ^Ebsugar in your tea, ^G7down behind the railway.. And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers ^Cmdrill, And ^Cmblast and fire.

Now, when ^Cmnext payday comes around, Jim ^G7Goff a dollar short was found. When ^Cmasked the reason, came this reply.. 'You were ^G7docked for the time you were up in the sky.'

And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers, ^Cmdrill. ^BbDrill ye Tarrie^Cmrs drill. ^CmWell, you work all day for the ^Ebsugar in your tea, ^G7down behind the railway.. And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers ^Cmdrill, And ^Cmblast and fire.

^CmNow, the boss was a fine man down to the ground, and he ^G7married a lady, six feet around. She ^Cmbaked good bread, and she baked it well, but she ^G7baked it as hard as the coals in hell.

And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers, ^Cmdrill. ^BbDrill ye Tarrie^Cmrs drill. ^CmWell, you work all day for the ^Ebsugar in your tea, ^G7down behind the railway.. And ^Cmdrill ye ^G7Tarriers ^Cmdrill, And ^Cmblast and fire.
