lyrics

Pat Do This

Pat do this, Pat do that
Without our shoes, without cravat
Nothin' in the world but an old straw hat
To work along the railroad

Roog sug-aroo, suga-sugaroo
Sugar in the cream jar how do you do
I'm just on the railroad fod-a fod-a-ray
Johnny come picking on the banjer

Eighteen hundred forty-two
I didn't know what I should do
Sail across the ocean blue
To work upon the railroad

Eighteen hundred forty-three
I sailed out across the sea
I didn't expect to see poor me
Working on the railroad

Eighteen hundred forty-four
I landed on a foreign shore
I didn't expect to see me more
Working on the railroad

Railroad dawn, we'll take a ride
Here we go side by side
Here we go side by side
Johnny comes picking on the banjer
