Let's have fun w/ the song and keep adding verses (and years) to the song. I'll start.
In eighteen hundred and forty-eight
Paddy junior pulled his weight
Starting school, he just can't wait
To work upon the railway.
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
To work upon the railway.

It's "Pat do this" and "Pat do that,"
Without a stocking or cravat,
Nothing but an old straw hat
While Pat worked on the railway.

 You're supposed to make up a verse, before this song gets off course. And nothing else could be worse, while we're working on the railway.

In eighteen hundred-and-five-and zero
I went back home as a hero.
But then they treated me like Nero.
Cause I worked upon the railway.
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
cause I worked upon the railway
God Bless,
afanoffiona

In eighteen hundred and fifty one
I left home and brought my son
He helped me get the work all done
As we worked upon the railway
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
As we worked upon the railway

this is not perfect but at least it's mine
In eighteen hundred and fifty-three
I didn't like the state of me
and all me mates they did agree
Pat stop working on the railway
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Pat stop working on the railway

Hey ElizaRose....
I'm not holding anything against you (seeing as this is the second post of yours on this thread that I've "criticized" lol)
But you skipped 1852! ;D
Hmm...I haven't written one yet..maybe I'll do that year...we'll see.
Cheers,
Ginny

In 1852, I left the land of the red, white, and blue. And to Cape Breton I flew. After completing the railray. Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye
Fil-li-me-oo-ri-oo-ee-aye After completing the railway.
