   {  }  
There was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run  
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun  
And long before the white man and long before the wheel  
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real           
But time has no beginnings and history has no bounds  
As to this verdant country they came from all around  
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall  
And built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all     
And when the young man's fancy was turning in the spring  
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring  
Their minds were overflowing with the visions of the day  
With many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay... For they  
Looked in the future and what did they see  
They saw an iron road runnin' from the sea to the sea  
Bringin the goods to a young growin' land  
All up from the seaports and into her hands  
Look away said they across this mighty land  
From the eastern shore to the western strand  
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails   
We've gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails  
Open 'er heart let the lifeblood flow  
Gotta get on our way cause we're moving too slow  
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails   
We've gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails  
Open 'er heart let the lifeblood flow  
Gotta get on our way cause we're moving too slow  
Get on our way cause we're movin' too slow       
Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'  
The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day
Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping   
Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away  
We are the navies who work upon the railway   
Swingin our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
Livin' on stew and drinking bad whiskey  
Bendin' our old backs till the long days are done  
We are the navies who work upon the railway   
Swingin our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges  
Bendin' our old backs till the railroad is done  
So over the mountains and over the plains  
Into the muskeg and into the rain  
Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe  
Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay  
Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down  
Away to the bunkhouse and into the town  
A dollar a day and a place for my head  
A drink to the livin' a toast to the dead  
Oh the song of the future has been sung all the battles have been won   
O'er the mountain tops we stand all the world at our command  
We have opened up this soil with our teardrops...and our toil...  For there  
Was a time in this fair land when the railroads did not run  
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun  
And long before the white man and long before the wheel  
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real  
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real  
                       {n/c}                        
And many are the dead men     too silent...      to be real
