http://andyroberts.me Going Up Camborne Hill Coming Down - "Camborne Hill" traditional Cornish song commemorating Richard Trevithick's historic first ever steam engine ride on Christmas Eve in 1801. Sung acapella by Andy Roberts and Havering Folk Club
Goin' up Camborne Hill, coming down
Goin' up Camborne Hill, coming down
The horses stood still;
The wheels went around;
Going up Camborne Hill coming down
White stockings, white stockings she wore (she wore)
White stockings, white stockings she wore
White stockings she wore:
The same as before;
Going up Camborne Hill coming down
I knew her I knew her old man (old man)
I knew her I knew her old man
He played in the band;
Going up Camborne Hill coming down
He shovelled the coal, in the steam (the steam)
He shovelled the coal, in the steam
He shovelled the coal,
The steam hit the beam
Going up Camborne Hill coming down
Goin' up Camborne Hill, coming down
Goin' up Camborne Hill, coming down
The horses stood still;
The wheels went around;
Going up Camborne Hill coming down
