PLEASE HELP ME!
Years ago I heard this hilarious irish "song" about a couple of builders trying to get this bucket of bricks up a building.
That was the one & only time I have ever heard it, and I would love to find out the title & artist, so can anyone please help me??

It sounds like you mean "The Sick Note"
(Chords and Lyrics Here)

It's a traditional Irish song, also known as "The Bricklayer's Song"

You sir, are a STAR!!
Thanks for taking the time to help me out on this one... MUCH APPRECIATED !

Ps: since receiving your message, I've managed to track it down & sure enough, that's the kiddo!. THANK YOU.

No worries! Glad to help!

The mythbusters (Discover Channel guys) did a segment on this sad tale of the barrel of bricks. They decided it could have occurred but not too likely.
They had a lady who was a folklore expert on, and she said the story first appeared in a joke book in 1918. She doesn't think it ever happened for real, but we will never know.
Thanks for making me aware of the song. I had only ever heard the story when it was reported as an actual workmens compensation case. I've had fun telling that story to a lot of people.
