RE SOL RE
THE CANALS, THE BRIDGES, THE EMBANKMENTS AND CUTS,
RE SOL RE LA7
THEY BLASTED AND DUG WITH THERE SWEAT AND THERE GUTS,
RE SOL RE7
THEY NEVER DRANK WATER BUT WHISKY BY PINTS,
RE SOL RE LA
AND THE SHANTY TOWNS RANG WITH THERE SONGS AND THERE FIGHTS.
(CHORUS)
RE SOL RE
NAVIGATOR, NAVIGATOR, RISE UP AND BE STRONG,
RE SOL RE LA7
THE MORNING IS HERE AND THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE,
RE SOL RE7
SO TAKE PICK AND YOUR SHOVEL AND SOME OLE' DYNAMITE,
RE SOL RE LA
JUST TO SHIFT A FEW TONS OF THIS EARTHLY DELIGHT,
RE SOL RE LA
YES, TO SHIFT A FEW TONS OF THIS EARTHLY DELIGHT.

D//G//D// /A/A7/D (SORT OF!)
THEY DIED IN THERE THOUSANDS, WITH NO SIGN TO MARK WHERE,
SAVE THE BRASS IN THE POCKET OF THE ENTREPRENEUR,
BY LANDSLIDE AND ROCK BLAST THEY ARE BURIED SO DEEP,
AND THAT IN DEATH IF NOT LIFE THEY'LL HAVE PEACE WHILE THEY
SLEEP.
(CHORUS)
THERE MARK ON THIS LAND IS STILL SEEN AND STILL LAID,
A WAY FOR THE COMMERCE WHERE VAST FORTUNES WERE MADE,
THE SUPPLY OF AN EMPIRE WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS,
WHICH IS NOW DEEP IN DARKNESS BUT THE RAILWAYS THERE YET.
(CHORUS)
END:FILL
SORT OF, MAYBE, CORRECT!, WELL NOBODY CAN UNDERTAND SEAN McGOWAN
ANYWAY!
