Learn a trick to Old Nick or the bold navvy man.
Oh! the sly navvy man,
And the fly navvy man,
Sure a woman's always runnin' to the bold navvy man.
"I do not care for ladies grand who are of high degree,
A winsome wench and willin', she is just the one for me,
Drink and love are classed as sins, as mortal sins by some,
I'll drink and drink whene'er I can, the drouth is sure to come—
And I will love till lusty life runs out its mortal span,
The end of which is in the ditch for many a navvy man.
