Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nWe’re the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
\nWe never had a gaffer; we’ve never had a boss
\nBut, we’ll build the biggest oil rig you’ve ever come across
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

Oh, every single morning we get wakened by a shout
\nGet up you idle buggers won’t you get your fingers out
\nAnd what do get for breakfast, seven pints of stout
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

Digging down a dusty hole till we can hardly speak
\nSummer sunshine, rain or snow we seldom stop to sleep
\nWe work for 40 hours a day, at fourteen days a week
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

We’re the toughest gang of workers that you have ever met
\nWe’ll work and fight with anyone and you can lay a bet
\nThere may be some men tougher, but we haven’t found them yet
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

We never joined the navy; we’d never joined the RAF
\nWe never joined the army, we’re not so bloody daffed
\nWe’d rather come to Kishorn and get paid for skiven aff
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

You’re welcome here in Kishorn if you know how to work
\nWe’ve Geordies here from Africa and Paddies from New York
\nWe’ve Scowsers, Jocks and Taffies all from the County Cork
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>\n

And when the job is over we’ll up and pack our bags
\nWe’ll spend our money on the booze the women and the nags
\nBut until then we’ll have to do with Navvys dressed in drag
\nRemember we’re the Kishorn Commandos<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
