Chorus: On Sunday will you come for a walk 'round Winter Hill?
Ten thousand came last Sunday, there's room for thousands still!
T' landman's locked the gate, sez you'll have to wait,
Yer leisure's less important than a grouse upon the plate,
I'll let the toffs run free, shooting merrily,
Ah sez, t' grouse has lived on that there moor, long 'for you and me
''Can't you read the sign? It sez all this land is mine!''
''Ah sez, a right of way is a right of mine and I'll fight for what is right!''
Coppers come in force, crouched behind the gorse
T' heather was a-bloomin' as we marched for a worker's cause!
Come spinners, miners, weavers, come all of you workers,
tie your boots and yomp the moor and liberate the land,
Common land privatised, right before your eyes
Our birthright it was poached by the devil's greedy claw

Last neet on Haystacks I met wi' a man
By a pool of water named Innominate Tarn
Grey coit and glasses, soaked to the bone
Awash with indifference, sketchbook in hand
Awash with indifference, sketchbook in hand
High Stile and Brandreth confirm my surprise
As do scree, crag and lichen, moss rush and mere
Grasmoor stands proud and Great Gable likewise
As Black Sails awaits for my slumber tonight
As Black Sails awaits for my slumber tonight
Scribbling and sketching Pillar Rock on yonder
Liza will you call to the heavens above?
Liza, Liza, heavens above, Liza, Liza, heavens above
The evening it passed and soon broke the morn
The Ghost of Wainwright is etched into my mind
Descending The Saddle the slate skids and cracks
To recall of my tale in an alehouse I'll find
To recall of my tale in an alehouse I'll find
