Verse 1

My name is Ollie Olsen and I yust come from Nor-vay

I come to New York, I can't find no verk

So I tink I go vest right away

I buy me one ticket to Saint Polly

And I get on one hella fine car

Conductor comes long and said Ollie

You ride in the immigrant car

Chorus

Vell it's Ollie, dey all call me Ollie

I don't know how dey find out my name

I never tell none of those fellows

But it's Ollie yust the same

And he pulled and he pushed and he kicked me

and he locked me up vitt a big key

Dey take me before Yudge Green

He whispered some tings to dem fellow

and made me acquainted on dem

Dey give me ten days on the rock pile

So I tink I remember that day
