I work for the Union Pike, out on the Western Line.
I found Uncle Sean in Denver, and he and his wife are fine.
They send their best, and like the rest -
They send home the slates.
It took six months from the Cobh, another six by land,
But the pay is good, and as I should
I`ll send home the slates.
Back on your feet now lads,
Our time for writing home has passed.
Six miles to spike today, that`s what we need.
So fast lads we must advance,
Work to the Gandy dance.
Six days to double pay, that`s our reward -
But not `til the line goes down.
I`ll not send empty letters, I know you need the rent.
Dad, you deserve a new pair of boots, I know it`s money well spent.
So kind regards, I`ll work hard -
To send home the slates.
