Roving Navvy - The Spinners

Lyrics by：Traditional

Composed by：Traditional

My name is Geordie Thompson I'm a loud to great renown

Known all along the cut and in the nearby towns

A gallon of ale two pounds of beef I have every day

And when my work is finished it's a half-crown for my pay

So it's dig boys load boys then haul away

Digging up the cut my lads up Manchester way

I've cut the turf for many a mile

And shovelled up the dirt

I've picked my way through frozen

Earth trap on the in my shirt

I've lay 'neath the burning sun

Digging out the clay

To trim away the levels all along the waterway

So dig boys load boys then haul away

Digging up the cut my lads up Manchester way

I've had my share of randies you can

Tell that by my scars

And I've done my share of porter drinking in the public bars

I've laboured mortal drunk on a cold Octobers day

And staggered 'till I've nearly fell into the waterway

So dig boys load boys then haul away

Digging up the cut my lads up Manchester way

I had my share of women in many a shanty town

'Cause I reckon' if I could chat to them

I could always bend them down

But if I could live my life again this I always say

A Roving Navvy I would be along the water way

So dig boys load boys then haul away

Digging up the cut my lads up Manchester way

So dig boys load boys then haul away

Digging up the cut my lads up Manchester way
