[00:21.00]Good evening all my jolly lads I'm glad to find you well
[00:25.20]If you'll gather all around me now the story I will tell
[00:29.43]For I've got a situation and begorrah and begob
[00:32.94]I can whisper all the weekly wage of nineteen bob
[00:37.92]Tis twelve months come October since I left me native home
[00:41.61]After helping them killarney boys to bring the harvest down
[00:45.90]But now I wear the gansey and around me waist a belt
[00:49.62]I'm the gaffer of the squad that makes the hot asphalt
[00:53.52]Well we laid it in a hollows and we laid it in the flat
[00:57.69]And if it doesn't last forever sure I swear I'll eat me hat
[01:01.53]Well I've wandered up and down the world and sure I never felt
[01:05.55]Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
[01:09.78]The other night a copper comes and he says to me mcguire
[01:13.65]Would you kindly let me light me pipe down at your boiler fire
[01:17.61]And he planks himself right down in front with hobnails up till late
[01:21.27]And says I me decent man you'd better go and find your bait
[01:25.50]He ups and yells I'm down on you I'm up to all yer pranks
[01:29.10]Don't I know you for a traitor from the tipperary ranks
[01:32.91]Boys I hit straight from the shoulder and I gave him such a belt
[01:37.02]That I knocked him into the boiler full of hot asphalt
[01:40.59]Well we laid it in a hollows and we laid it in the flat
[01:44.64]And if it doesn't last forever sure I swear I'll eat me hat
[01:48.39]Well I've wandered up and down the world and sure I never felt
[01:52.50]Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
[01:56.40]We quickly dragged him out again and we threw him in the tub
[02:00.12]And with soap and warm water we began to rub and scrub
[02:04.08]But devil the thing it hardened and it turned him hard as stone
[02:07.92]And with every other rub sure you could hear the copper groan
[02:11.73]I'm thinking says o'reilly that he's looking like old nick
[02:15.69]And burn me if I am not inclined to claim him with me pick
[02:19.11]Now says I it would be easier to boil him till he melts
[02:23.19]And to stir him nice and easy in the hot asphalt
[02:26.79]Well we laid it in a hollows and we laid it in the flat
[02:30.84]And if it doesn't last forever sure I swear I'll eat me hat
[02:34.89]Well I've wandered up and down the world and sure I never felt
[02:38.40]Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
[02:42.24]You may talk about yer sailor lads ballad singers and the rest
[02:46.44]Your shoemakers and your tailors but we please the ladies best
[02:50.31]The only ones who know the way their flinty hearts to melt
[02:53.70]Are the lads around the boiler making hot asphalt
[02:57.90]With rubbing and with scrubbing sure I caught me death of cold
[03:01.68]For scientific purposes me body it was sold
[03:05.37]In the kelvin grove museum me boys I'm hanging in me pelt
[03:09.12]As a monument to the Irish making hot asphalt
[03:12.69]Well we laid it in a hollows and we laid it in the flat
[03:16.77]And if it doesn't last forever sure I swear I'll eat me hat
[03:20.43]Well I've wandered up and down the world and sure I never felt
[03:24.30]Any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
