Lyrics: O, the smartest clipper you can find Ah hee, Ah ho, are you most done? Is the Marg'ret Evans of the Black X-line So clear away the track, let the bullgine run To my het rig a jig in a low back car, Ah he, ah ho are you most done? With Liza Lee all on my knee, So clear away the track, let the bulgine run O, the times are hard and the wages low Ah-hee, ah-ho are you most done? O, it can't get worse, so we're bound to go So clear away the track, let the bullgine run O, the winds were foul and the work was hard Ah-hee, ah-ho, are you most done? From the Liverpool docks to the Brooklyn yard So clear away the track, let the bullgine run |
