Manchester Rambler. Ewan McColl

C I've been over Snowdon, I've slept upon Crowdon I've camped by the Waynestones as G well G I've sunbathed on Kinder, been burned to a cinder And many more things I can C tell C My rucksack has oft been me G pillow, The heather has oft been me C bed And sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

Chorus: C I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from G Manchester way I get all me pleasure the C hard moorland way I may be a wage-slave on G Monday But I am a free man on C Sunday

The C day was just ending and I was descending Down Grinesbrook just by Upper G Tor G When a voice cried "Hey you" in the way keepers do He'd the worst face that ever I C saw The things that he said were un- G -pleasant, In the teeth of his fury I C said "Sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead"

He C called me a louse and said "Think of the grouse" Well I thought, but I still couldn't G see G Why all Kinder Scout and the moors roundabout Couldn't take both the poor grouse and C me He said "All this land is my G master's", At that I stood shaking my C head No man has the right to own G mountains, Any more than the deep ocean C bed

I C once loved a maid, a spot welder by trade She was fair as the Rowan in G bloom G And the bloom of her eye matched the blue Moreland sky I wooed her from April to C June On the day that we should have been G married, I went for a ramble in- C -stead For sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

So I'll C walk where I will over mountain and hill, and I'll lie where the bracken is G deep G I belong to the mountains, the clear running fountains Where the grey rocks lie ragged and C steep I've seen the white hare in the G gullys, And the curlew fly high over- C -head And sooner than part from the G mountains, I think I would rather be C dead

Yonder comes doctor F Melton. How the world d’you C know? He gave me a G7 tablet on the day be- C fore.C7 Now there never was a F doctor travelled through this C land. That could cure the G7 fever of a convict C man. C7

CHORUS:
