Chris Thile- Clear the Tracks

Oh! The smartest packet ye can find,
Ah Hey! Ah Ho! Are you most done?
Is the Ol` ``Wildcat`` of the Swallowtail Line!
Oh! Clear away the track an` let the bulgine run!

Timme Hey, Rig-a-jig, and a jaunting run!
Ah Hey! Ah Ho! Are you most done?
With Eliza Lee all on my knee,
So! Clear away the track an` let the bulgine run!fR

Oh! the Ol` ``Wildcat`` of the Swallowtail Line,
She`s never a day behind her time!

Oh, we`re outward bound for New York Town,
Them bowery gals we`ll waltz around.
When we`ve stowed our freight at the West Street Pier,
It`s home to Liverpool then we`ll steer.
Oh, them bowery gals will give us fun,
Chatham Street dives is home from home.

When we all gets back to Liverpool town,
I`ll stand ye whiskies all around.

Oh, heave a pawl -- oh, bear a hand,
Just one more pull and make her stand.

Oh, when I gets home across the sea,
Eliza, will you marry me?
