[Verse 1]
C F C
In the year of '69 they planned to run a train
G C
From Settle to Carlisle across the mountain range
F C
They employed 3000 navvies to build this mighty road
G C
Across the fells through Appleby that old steam engine rolled
[Chorus]
Am
And it's up in the morning, lads
F Em
In wind, snow or hail
Am
Hold fast your hammers, lads
F G C
And lay another rail
[Verse 2]
C F C
It's 72 miles from Settle to Carlisle
G C
Across the roughest country in all the British Isles
F C
They said it would take 4 years, but it took up nearer seven
G C
And the first 20 miles it sent 400 men to heaven
[Chorus]
Am
And it's up in the morning, lads
F Em
In wind, snow or hail
Am
Hold fast your hammers, lads
F G C
And lay another rail
[Verse 3]
C F C
Now when the winter came, it froze them to the floor
G C
It blew them off the viaducts and killed them on Blee Moor
F C
Some died of the smallpox, some of cholera
G C
Chapel and St Leonards have many buried there
[Chorus]
Am
And it's up in the morning, lads
F Em
In wind, snow or hail
Am
Hold fast your hammers, lads
F G C
And lay another rail
[Verse 4]
C F C
Now if you ride this famous line across the heathered fells
G C
When crossing Ribblehead viaduct remember the tale I tell
F C
There's Mallerstang and Aisgill and Dent Dales lovely wilds
G C
And navvy lads a-slavin' from Settle to Carlisle
[Chorus]
Am
And it's up in the morning, lads
F Em
In wind, snow or hail
Am
Hold fast your hammers, lads
F G C
