(ver. 1)
Weavers
[Intro]
Am G F Em
Am G F Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
       Am  Em          Am      Em
Now, every mornin' at seven o’clock
        Am     Em         Bm             Am
There's twenty tarriers a-workin' on the rock
    Am          Em           Am           Em
The boss comes along and he says,  “Keep still
    Am   N.C.                         E7
and come down heavy cast iron drill.”
 
 
 
[Chorus]
     Am       Em        Am     Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
    Am         G          Am    Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
         Am
For it’s work all day for the sugar in your tea
C               B7
Down beyond the railway
    Am        Em        Am
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
N.C.       Am  N.C.
And blast,    and fire
Am G F Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Am         Em        Am         Em
Now, the boss was a good man down to the ground
         Am           B7
And he married a lady six foot ’round
     Am         Em           Am       Em
She baked good bread and she baked it well
         Am  N.C.
But she baked it hard as the holes in hell
 
 
[Chorus]
     Am       Em        Am     Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
    Am         G          Am    Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
         Am
For it’s work all day for the sugar in your tea
C               B7
Down beyond the railway
    Am        Em        Am
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
N.C.       Am  N.C.
And blast,    and fire
Am G F Em
 
[Verse 2]
           Am      Em           Am     Em
Well, now, our new foreman was Jean McCann
   Am       Em    Bm         Em
By God, he was a blamed mean man
Am          Em        Am          Em
Last week a premature blast went off
      Am N.C.                   E7
And a mile in the air went big Jim Goff
 
 
[Chorus]
     Am       Em        Am     Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
    Am         G          Am    Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
         Am   N.C.
For it’s work all day for the sugar in your tea
C               B7
Down beyond the railway
    Am        Em        Am
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
N.C.       E7  N.C.
And blast,    and fire
Am G F Em
 
[Verse 3]
          Am   Em      Am     Em
Well, the next payday came around
     Am           B
Jim Goff a dollar short was found
     Am            Em        Am     Em
When asked, “What for?” came this reply
          Am  N.C.                             E7
“You was docked for the time you was up in the sky.”
 
[Chorus]
     Am       Em        Am     Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
    Am         G          Am    Em
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
         Am
For it’s work all day for the sugar in your tea
C               B7
Down beyond the railway
    Am        Em        Am
And drill, ye tarriers, drill
N.C.Am    N.C.    Am
And blast,    and fire
