Let The Bulgine Run

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com

  NOTE: A "bulgine is a train engine

Oh The smartest packet ye can find                              

Ah Hey Ah Ho! Are you most done

Is the Old Wildcat of the Swallowtail Line

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

CHORUS  sung after each verse

To me Hey Rig-a-jig, in a jaunting car

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

 With Eliza Lee all on my knee

 So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

 

O  the Old Wildcat of the Swallowtail Line - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

She's never a day behind her time - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

O  we're outward bound for New York Town - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

Them bowery gals we'll waltz around - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

When we've stowed our freight at the West Street Pier - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

It's home to Liverpool then we'll steer - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

O them bowery gals will give us fun - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

Chatham Street dives is home from home - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

When we all gets back to Liverpool town 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

I'll stand ye whiskies all around - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

O  heave a pawl- O bear a hand - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho Are you most done

Just one more pull and make her stand - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run

O when I gets home across the sea - 

Ah Hey Ah Ho re you most done

Eliza will you marry me - 

So clear away the track and let the bulgine run
