Текст песни: Craigellachie + перевод

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

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

Chorus
