PADDY ON THE RAILWAY Paddy on the railway Pickin up stanes; Alang cam an engine And brak Paddy's banes. "O!" said Paddy, "That's no fair." "O!" said the engineman, "Ye shudna hae been there." ________________________________________________________ SC (1948), 121 (no. 198), from Glasgow, and very similar in Those Dusty Bluebells (1965),7, a skipping rhyme from Cumnock. Gullen (1950), 17 (no. 40, among countings-out), has "by came an engine", "`Well,' said the engine- driver, `you shouldn't be there.'" Note says "An older user of this rhyme protests that it was the engine that spoke"--as in Rodger, Lang Strang (1948), 11 [at the railway/ "Weel," said the engine, "you've no business there"]. A Dublin version: Behan Streets of Song no. 9. @kids @train filename[ PADRAIL2 MS Popup Midi Player
