Lyrics:

They used to build big ships here
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

Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights, and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
We'll never see your likes again
No more workers
It's gone the way of all good things

They used to forge the steel here
They'd sweat through every pore
Now there are no steelworks anymore

They used to land their catch here
The silver darlings run
Ah, but now the fishing is all gone

Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
We'll never see your likes again
No more workers
It's gone the way of all good things

Tall masts would sail from shipyards
'Pride of the Clyde,' they'd say
Now all the ships have gone away

Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
We'll never see your likes again
No more workers
It's gone the way of all good things

Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen, miners
Shipwrights and sailors
Steelmen...
