I think the composite version appearing above is the one from "The Shuttle and Cage: Industrial Folk Ballads" ed. Ewan MacColl; there he combines a version from Hellefield, Yorkshire (which is the version that contains the "I was wearing corduroy britches..." chorus) with one collected from Albert Gilmore of Birkenhead (in which the verses end "I'm weary of the railway... poor paddy works on the railway").

(As for being collected in Newton Heath, it's quite possible he claimed that elsewhere, but it's also possible people are mixing it up with other railway songs like Moses of the Mail that he lists as collected in Newton Heath?)

As has been noted above, The Spinners recorded a version with the "Fillimiooriay" chorus (using that as the title)
