Craigellachie
On a misty November morning back in 1885 A crowd of men were gathered down on the railroad ties Thirty miles West of Revelstoke on that famous site Donald A. Smith drove the last spike
Chorus: And the called it Craigellachie Three thousand miles from sea to sea And the called it Craigellachie On that day in history
B.C. joined Confederation and a promise it was made The Canadian Pacific would build a railway Through timberland and prairie the iron rails would reach Port Moody on the Pacific to the St. Laurence in the East
Chorus Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Rogers found a mountain pass in fourty feet of snow And the trestles crossed the rapids in the valley far below Ten thousand men laying rail on a road of sweat and blood And how many lost their lives in slides of rock and mud?
Chorus
They said to build this railroad would take ten years to do But in four-and-one-half years, you know, the dream it had come true Thirty miles West of Revelstoke on that famous site Donald A. Smith drove the last spike
