Tall Ships Lyrics - Pick Of The Litter: The Best Of Wolfstone 1991-1996 - Wolfstone

They used to make them tall 

Now there are no shipyards here at all 

They used to dig for coal here 

They used to scrape and crawl 

Now there are no coalfields here at all 

Chorus: 

Steelmen miners shipwrights and sailors 

Steelmen miners shipwrights and sailors 

We'll never see their like again 

No more workers 

It's gone the way of all good things 

They used to forge their steel there 

They'd sweat through every pore 

Now there are no steel works anymore 

They used to land their catch here 

The silver darlings run 

Ah but now the fishing is all gone 

Tall masts would sail from shipyards 

"Pride of the Clyde" they'd say 

Now all the ships have gone away
