Clear the Track
Oh, the smartest packet you can find
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
Is the old Wildcat of the Swallowtail Line.
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Chorus:
To me, high rig a jig in a jaunting (lowback) car
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
With Eliza Lee all on me knee,
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Oh, the old Wildcat of the Swallowtail Line,
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
She's never a day behind her time.
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Chorus
When we arrive in New York town,
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
Them Bowery girls we'll waltz around.
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Chorus
Them gals are a-walkin on the pier,
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
Lets go ashore and have some beer.
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Chorus
It's one more pull and that will do,
A-hee, a-ho, are you 'most done?
And we're the boys to kick her through.
Clear away the track and let the bulgine run.
Chorus
