I've got these words


Stride by stride heal and toe
We go travelling by
It's like searching the rivers for gold they say
When all the waters are dry
Hearts are heavy spirits are low
But with two strong arms you can never let go

Were the boys, we're the heart and soul
A company of faith and fortune
Travelling the road are destinies soldiers
Like the old miners the forty niners
Here we come looking for gold

Goodbye the roon man goodbye the coal
Goodbye the valley and shade
Are hearts lie there but we have to go
To where the games of profit are played
But we can do it we know we can find
A new way of living a heaven of a kind

CHORUS

Travel to west go to the east
England America the moon
Leaving on a boat leaving on a train
No one will be left there soon
Troubles run deep the water is wide
But we are crossing the river to the other side

CHORUS

We got the skyline we got the road
We got nothing to hide
There's a half back moon and a dream of your own,
But nothing for your pockets or pride
One way or another you're under attack
First you move forward but you're always coming back


Any comments welcome
