The lyrics are:
Goin' up Camborne 'll comin' down,
Goin' up Camborne 'll comin' down
The 'osses stood still,
The wheels turned aroun'
Goin' up Camborne 'll comin' down

White stockans, white stockans she wore,
White stockans, white stockans she wore,
White stockans she wore,
White stockans she wore,
Goin' up Camborne 'll comin' down

I knowed her old father old man
I knowed her old father old man
I knowed her old man
He played in the band
Going up Camborne 'll comin' down

I had her I had her I did
I had her I had her I did
I had her I did
It cost me a quid
Going up Camborne 'll comin' down

He heaved in the coal in the steam
He heaved in the coal in the steam
He heaved in the coal
The steam hit the beam
Going up Camborne 'll comin' down


The 2nd and 4th verse supposedly refer to a lady named Lady de Dunstanville who was not originally from an aristocratic background and the cornish brought her down by reminding her that she couldn't afford new stockings.
