18 Jan 18 - 10:19 AM (#3900325) Subject: Lyr Req: Hindle Wakes - Live at the Cross Keys From: GUEST,Ian Hendrie I'm seeking a recording and/or words to a song entitled 'Manchester Ship Canal'. This one was written by John Gill and is the third track on the 1978 album "Hindle Wakes - Live at the Cross Keys". John Gill was a member of Hindle Wakes. There is a copy of the lp on sale but £35 seems rather too much to spend to find the words and tune of one song (for the Songs of the Inland Waterways website). |

Seven Years of hard labour to stand. For a ditch 26 feet by 35 miles Dug with shovels, picks and bare hands Chorus Queen Victoria came along on May the 21st A 21 gun salute for to hear Mr Marshall the Lord Mayor and now Sir Anthony And likewise the chief engineer Chorus For an outlay of 56 million pounds we’ll have Streets so full you can’t move Health and wealth will come to all as long as it lasts And likewise to the city we love. Chorus No longer will our children go barefoot around Walking many’s a mile We’ll go on up to Blackpool and have us a good time Our first holiday in many’s a while Chorus Manchester Ship Canal’s coming Prosperity Manchester Ship Canal’s coming At Last At Last |
