|
They used to make them tall |
|
Now there are no shipyards here at all |
|
They used to dig for coal here |
|
They used to scrape and crawl |
|
Now there are no coalfields here at all |
|
Chorus:Steelmen miners shipwrights and sailors |
|
Steelmen miners shipwrights and sailors |
|
We'll never see their like again |
|
No more workers |
|
It's gone the way of all good things |
|
They used to forge their steel there |
|
They'd sweat through every pore |
|
Now there are no steel works anymore |
|
They used to land their catch here |
|
The silver darlings run |
|
Ah but now the fishing is all gone |
|
Tall masts would sail from shipyards"Pride of the Clyde" they'd say |
|
Now all the ships have gone away |
