We can't get the wares away We can't get the wares away To the ships in Liverpool bay Oh! We can't get the wares away Well the foundry hammer will soon be still 'Cause we can't get the wares away And the gates will close on the cotton mill If we can't get the wares away Well we need a way and we need it fast 'Cause we can't get the wares away Or these industries will never last If we can't get the wares away Oh! We can't get the wares away We can't get the wares away To the ships in Liverpool bay Oh! We can't get the wares away This was written for a BBC radio documentary called 'Tales from the Towpath' about the building of the Manchester Ship Canal. Chris While and Julie Matthews website contains details of all their songs and recordings. Found on the www. |

I don't think it's on any CW&JM CDs. Does anyone have a recording of the radio programme 'Tales from the Towpath' in which it featured? |
