[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D G D A D
Oh it's down the glen came McAlpine’s men with their shovels slung behind them.
G D G
'Twas in the pub they drank the sub and up in the spike you'll find them .
D G D G
They sweated blood and they washed down mud with pints and quarts of beer.
D G D A D
And now we're on the road again with McAlpine's Fusiliers.
[Verse 2]
D G D A D
I stripped to the skin with Darkie Flynn down in the Isle of Grain.
D G D G
With Horse Face O'Toole, sure I knew the rule, no money if you stopped for rain.
D G D G
McAlpine's God was a well-filled hod, your shoulders cut to bits and seared,
D G D A D
And woe to he wh’went look for tea with McAlpine's Fusiliers.
[Pre-interlude]

[Verse 3]
D G D A D
I remember that day when the Bear O'Shea fell into a concrete stairs.
G D G
What the Horse Face said when he found him dead well it wasn't what the rich called prayers.
D G D G
“I'm a navvy short” was the one retort that reached unto my ears.
D G D A D
And when the goin’ gets rough well you must be tough with McAlpine's Fusiliers

[Verse 4]
D G D A D
I've worked 'til the sweat well it had me bet, with Russians, Czechs and Poles.
G D G
On shuddering jams in the hydro dams or underneath the Thames in a hole.
D G D G
I grafted hard and I got me cards and many a ganger's fist across me ears.
D G D A D
If you value your life well don’t join by Christ, with McAlpine's Fusiliers.
D G D A D
And if you value your life well don’t join by Christ, with McAlpine's Fusiliers.
