The River Testo

Testo The River

You will know me by the ships I build And by the seas they glide (ply?) You will know me by the river You will know me by the Clyde You will know me by the hands that drive Cold Iron through the tide You will know me by the river You will know me by the Clyde You will know me by my steadfast fight To win a better way And by the skills I hold in trust From my father's father's day Well you can take apart my future Don't you meddle with my pride You can't roll away my river You can't roll away the Clyde You will know me by my spirit And a will to play the game The glory of the Iron That still bears the old Queen's name You will know me by my hardship When the work's dried up and died You will know me by the river You will know me by the Clyde
