Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Push Boys Push
Push Boys Push
Push Boys Push
(1-Straight from thr Tunnel's Mouth)
Were legging this old tunnel
push boys push
Were legging this old tunnel
push boys push
It's the pride of Dudley Town
And they're going to pull it down
So,
push boys push
push boys push
push boys push
push boys push
We'll leg through Castle Mill
push boys push
Cathedral Arch as well
push boys push
There'll be no more fresh-air smell
'til we get to the well
So,
push boys push
push boys push
push boys push
push boys push
Push Boys Push (2-The English Canals)
Were going though this tunnel
push boys push
Were trying to save this tunnel
push boys push
It's the pride of Dudley Town
And they're trying to close it down
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
We'll go through Castle Mill
push boys push
Cathedral Arch as well
push boys push
There's no more fresh-air smell
while you pass by the well
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
The boat's been going through
push boys push
Since seventeen-ninety-two
push boys push
It's a crime and it's a shame
That we cannot do the same
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
Don't let your strength to fail
push boys push
'Cos we're coming to the jail
push boys push
We may get stuck inside
If the boat it is too wide
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
The tunnel's two miles long
push boys push
That's why we sing this song
push boys push
It keeps our spirits high
While we cannot see the sky
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
And now we're coming nigh
push boys push
Oh don't you seee the sky
push boys push
We'll have a celebration
Now we've sung it to the nation
So, push boys push
Ho! push boys push
Yes! push boys push
Now! push boys push
Well push boys push
