Its in the rhythm of a dancer

And every standard flag unfurled

Its in the brides eternal answer

And every child across the world



Chorus...



Steelmen , miners , shipwrights and sailors

Steelmen , miners , shipwrights and sailors

We'll never see their likes again

No more workers

Its gone the way of all good things



They used to forge the steel there

They'd sweat through every pore

Now there are no steelworks anymore

They used to land their catch here

The silver darlings run

Ah but now the fishing is all gone



Chorus...



Tall masts would sail from shipyards

"Pride of the Clyde " they'd say

Now all the ships have gone away



Chorus...
