*Celebrated Working Man*
[Verse 1]
D Bm
Now I’m a celebrated working-man, from work I never shirk,
G D G E A
I can hew more coals than any man from Glasgow down to York;
D Bm
And if you like to see my style then call around on me,
G E A D
When I’ve had several beers in the bar-room.
[Chorus]
D Bm
In the bar-room, in the bar-room, that’s where we congregate,
G D G E A
To drill the holes and fill the coals and shovel back the slate;
D A Bm
And for to do a job of work, oh, I am never late,
G E A D
That’s providing that we do it in the bar-room.
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I can judge a shot of powder to a sixteenth of a grain,
G D G E A
I can fill my eighteen tubs though the water falls like rain,
D Bm
And if you like to see me in the perpendicular vein,
G E A D
It’s when I’m setting timbers in the bar-room.
[Chorus]
D Bm
In the bar-room, in the bar-room, that’s where we congregate,
G D G E A
To drill the holes and fill the coals and shovel back the slate;
D A Bm
And for to do a job of work, oh, I am never late,
G E A D
That’s providing that we do it in the bar-room.
[Verse 3]
D Bm
At putting I’m a dandy, I hope you will agree,
G D G E A
And gannin along the gannin-board I make the chummins flee
D Bm
Your kelly sweeps and back-ower turns they never bother me,
G E A D
When I’m sitting on the limmers in the bar-room.
[Chorus]
D Bm
In the bar-room, in the bar-room, that’s where we congregate,
G D G E A
To drill the holes and fill the coals and shovel back the slate;
D A Bm
And for to do a job of work, oh, I am never late,
G E A D
That’s providing that we do it in the bar-room.
[Verse 4]
D Bm
And now my song is over, I hope we’ll have another,
