http://www.ciscohouston.com/lyrics/pat_works_on_the_railway.shtml
In Eighteen Hundred and Forty One
I put me corduroy britches on
I put me corduroy britches on
To work upon the railway.

In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-two
I left the old world for the new
Bad cess to the luck that brought me through
To work upon the railway.

Well, it's Pat do this and Pat do that,
Without a stocking or cravat
And nothing for an old straw hat
While working on the railway.

And when I lay me down to sleep
The wirey bugs around me creep
And devil a bit can poor Pat sleep
While working on the railway.

In Eighteen Hundred and Forty-three,
Twas then I wed sweet Biddy McGee.
Ah, an elegant wife she's been to me,
While working on the railway.

Now in Eighteen Hundred and Forty-seven
Sweet Biddie McGee she went to heaven
If she left one child she left eleven
To work upon the railway.

Now in Eighteen Hundred and Forty-eight
I learned to drink me whiskey straight
It's an elegant drink that can't be beat
For working on the railway.

The non-emigrating-to-America version has verses for 1842, 1844, 1845, and 1846 as well.
