Lyrics
WAINWRIGHT’S COAST TO COAST Well if you plan a walk from sea to sea Won’t you take one friendly tip from me You see the most on Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Well you walk from St Bee’s to Robin Hood’s Bay Nearly 200 miles in 14 days You see the most on Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Well there’s Ennerdale & Black Sail, Honister & Borrowdale Greenup Edge and if you brought your sledge Then you can slide on down to Grasmere town Where the Wordsworths hung, or you can carry on Way up to Grisedale Tarn, where you’ve got choices down - to Patterdale Early in the morning if you take my warning You’ll be up on time because you’ve gotta climb Way up to Kidsty Pike, that’s the top of the hike, you’ll see Ullswater, Hayeswater, Haweswater, lotsa water Can’t nap until you get to Shap later that day Kick off to Kirkby Stephen where the odds are even You can make it big if you just climb that Rigg And you won’t fail to see the River Swale Keld and Reeth and Richmond on the Hill You see the most on Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Over to Danby Wiske where you can buy your crisps Ingleby Cross if you don’t get lost And it’s such a thrill to climb up Beacon Hill, you see Live Moor, Cold Moor, Cringle Moor and many more Can’t stop ‘til you reach Clay Bank Top along the way Well there’s Urra Moor and Farndale, Blakey Ridge and Glaisdale Grosmont too with that, Choo-Choo You climb with me til you see the sea An there’s Robin Hood’s Bay ya made it all the way You’ve seen the most on Wainwright’s Coast to Coast
