What'll make the lame walk? What'll make the dumb talk?
The elixir of life and philospher's stone!
And what helped Mr. Brunel to build the Thames Tunnel?
Oh! Wasn't it poteen from Malin Inishowen?

Humours of Whiskey sung by Colm R. McGuinness

Tge Thames Tunnell was built between 1825 and 1843 by Marc Brunel and his son Isambard using the tunnelling shield newly invented by the elder Brunel and Thomas Cochrane.
It is now part of the London Overground linking Wapping and Rotherhithe.
