Lyrics
Artist: Mike Donald
[VERSE 1]
[C]In the year of '69 they [F]planned to run a [C]train
From Settle to Carlisle ac[G]ross the mountain [C]range
They employed 3000 navvies to b[F]uild this mighty r[C]oad
Across the fells through Appleby that ol[G]d steam engine rol[C]led

[CHORUS]
And it's [Am]up in the morning, lads
In [F]wind, snow or h[Em]ail
[Am]Hold fast your hammers, lads
And [F]lay ano[G]ther r[C]ail

[VERSE 2]
It's 7[C]2 miles from S[F]ettle to Carl[C]isle
Across the roughest coun[G]try in all the British [C]Isles
They said it would take 4 years, but it [F]took up nearer s[C]even
And the first 20 miles it sent 40[G]0 men to he[C]aven

[CHORUS]
And it's [Am]up in the morning, lads
In [F]wind, snow or h[Em]ail
[Am]Hold fast your hammers, lads
And [F]lay ano[G]ther r[C]ail

[VERSE 3]
Now [C]when the winter came, it f[F]roze them to the f[C]loor
It blew them off the viaducts and [G]killed them on Blee [C]Moor
Some died of the smallpox, s[F]ome of chole[C]ra
Chapel and St Leonards have [G]many buried t[C]here

[CHORUS]
And it's [Am]up in the morning, lads
In [F]wind, snow or h[Em]ail
[Am]Hold fast your hammers, lads
And [F]lay ano[G]ther r[C]ail

[VERSE 4]
Now if you r[C]ide this famous line ac[F]ross the heathered f[C]ells
When crossing Ribblehead viaduct reme[G]mber the tale I tel[C]l
There's Mallerstang and Aisgill and D[F]ent Dales lovely w[C]ilds
And navvy lads a-slavin' from [G]Settle to Carli[C]sle

[CHORUS]
And it's [Am]up in the morning, lads
In [F]wind, snow or h[Em]ail
[Am]Hold fast your hammers, lads
And [F]lay ano[G]ther r[C]ail
