Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Navigator 
The canals and the bridges the embankments and cuts They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts They never drank water but whiskey by pints And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights 
Ch Navigator Navigator rise up and be strong For the morning is here and there's work to be done Take your pick and your shovel and the bold dynamite For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight 
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight They died in their hundreds no sign to mark where Save the brass in the pockets of the entrepreneur By landslip and rockblast they got buried so deep 
That in death if not life they'll have peace where they sleep 
Ch 
Their mark on this landside is still seen and still laid The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were made The supply of an empire where the sun never set Which is now deep in darkness but the railway's there yet 
Ch
