I'll walk my boots clean someday Sure as a pool in a valley of clay I'll walk my boots clean someday My brothers they are all underground We shovel and fill 'til we come to the crown From the river to the sea St Johnston wait for me [Co. Donegal, Ire.] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... I laid the ground for the new Jubilee The Mersey and Thames owe their soundness to me From the river to the sea Botallack wait for me [Cornwall, Eng.] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... I've blasted for rails and canals Cheek with the pit boss and craic with me pals From the river to the sea Buncrana wait for me [Co. Donegal, Ire.] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... Our girls of the great TBM Strata or sleech, they mean nothing to them From the river to the sea Sweet Rhondda wait for me [Glamorgan, Wales] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... I've witnessed the fall of the face When you labour in fear for the lives of your mates From the river to the sea Oh Trimdon wait for me [Durham, Eng.] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... Soon this shift will be done I'll lie with my lass and I'll stand in the sun From the river to the sea Gdynia wait for me [G-DINE-ya, Poland] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots ... For our crew, we're the pick of the crowd We are strong, we are bold, we are wild, we are proud And from Brno to Bray, [BRIN-o, Czech Rep.] To the Wild Atlantic Way [Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ire.] I'll walk my boots clean someday I'll walk my boots clean someday Sure as a pool in a valley of clay I'll walk my boots clean someday Sure as a pool in a valley of clay I'll walk my boots clean someday
