Hares run free on the Wicklow mountains,
Wild geese fly and the foxes play;
Sporting boys of Wicklow County,
Are drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Lough Derg trout grow fat and lazy,
Salmon sport in Cushla bay;
Fishermen from Connemara
Are drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Below Armagh the wild ducks breeding,
Wild fowl gather 'round Loch Rea,
Sporting boys from Longford County
Are driving a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
The curragh rots on the Achill Island,
Tourists walk on the Newport quay;
Mayo boys have all gone roving,
They're drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Carlow girls are fine and handsome,
All decked out so neat and gay;
Carlow boys don't come to court 'em
They're drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Down in the dark are the tunnel tigers
Far from the sun and the light of day;
Down in the land that the sea once buried,
They're drivin' a tunnel through the London Clay.
Up with the shields and jack it!
Ram it!
Drivin' a tunnel through the
London
Clay.
