Kishorn Commandos


Chorus:

Were the Kishorn Commandos way up in Wester Ross
We never had a gaffer; weve never had a boss
But, well build the biggest oil rig youve ever come across
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

Oh, every single morning we get wakened by a shout
Get up you idle buggers won't you get your fingers out
And what do get for breakfast, seven pints of stout
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

Digging down a dusty hole till we can hardly speak
Summer sunshine, rain or snow we seldom stop to sleep
We work for 40 hours a day, at fourteen days a week
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

Were the toughest gang of workers that you have ever met
Well work and fight with anyone and you can lay a bet
There may be some men tougher, but we havent found them yet
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

We never joined the navy; wed never joined the RAF
We never joined the army, were not so bloody daffed
Wed rather come to Kishorn and get paid for skiven aff
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

Youre welcome here in Kishorn if you know how to work
Weve Geordies here from Africa and Paddies from New York
Weve Scowsers, Jocks and Taffies all from the County Cork
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos

And when the job is over well up and pack our bags
Well spend our money on the booze the women and the nags
But until then well have to do with Navvys dressed in drag
Remember were the Kishorn Commandos
