lyrics

On The Heights of Abraham - John Gill

{Chorus 1}
We went up to the sky
We went down underground
When we went up in the cable car
We could see for miles around

Well the kids all loved the playground
Where they slid, they jumped they ran
So much to see so much to do
On the Heights of Abraham

{Verse 1}
O’er the railway o’er the river and over the road we go
Up the cliff and through the trees
Our car was dancing in the breeze
Dad took fright his knuckles were white as he held on to the bar
When we reached the top ‘n’ came to a stop he shouted “Ere we are!”

{Chorus 2}
We went up to the sky
We went down underground
When we went up in the cable car
We could see for miles around
There was a storyteller, music and a very funny man
So much to see so much to do
On the Heights of Abraham

BREAK

{Verse 2}
Well it was dark and it was scary when we went down in the caves
To think that children worked in here
It gave me goose bumps o’ fear
Such a lovely sight it was really bright when we popped out at the top
And went down f’ tea, ice cream, an’ I had a bottle of pop

{Chorus 1}
We went up to the sky
We went down underground
When we went up in the cable car
We could see for miles around

Well the kids all loved the playground
Where they slid, they jumped they ran
So much to see so much to do
On the Heights of Abraham

{Chorus 2}
We went up to the sky
We went down underground
When we went up in the cable car
We could see for miles around
There was a storyteller, music and a very funny man
So much to see so much to do
On the Heights of Abraham
