CmNow, the boss was a fine man down to the ground,
       G7and he married a lady, six feet around.
    CmShe baked good bread, and she baked it well,
        G7but she baked it as hard as the coals in hell.

CHORUS:
    Cm       G7        Cm And drill ye Tarriers, drill.

Cm                             EbWell, you work all day for the sugar in your tea,
G7down behind the railway..
    Cm       G7       Cm And drill ye Tarriers drill,
    CmAnd blast and fire.
