Lyrics:
Alfred was an English lad, from Blackburn, Lancashire, At the age of twenty three he took a trip up North to Windermere, Where the Lakeland Fells, can stir the soul of a man That's how Alfred's love affair with Cumbria began Now it's 80 years since Wainright first set foot in Windermere When he scrambled up to Orrest Head, on that morning bright and clear He saw woodlands and pastures green, how endless mountains ranged And the office lad from Lancashire, his life forever changed Now he guides our footsteps over those ancestral byways Uncharted paths our forebears trod before, Now his pictures and his words, set us free to soar like birds Over Cumbrian hillside, beck and moor Pike o'Stickle, soaring, like a pyramid stands alone And on Martcrag Moor, Neolithic man carved axes made of stone And in these Central Fells why not bide and drink your fill For there's warm ale and good company in the bar of the Dungeon Ghyll Now Alfred guides us over the highest of mountains, Scawfell Pike, Helvellyn, Great Gable and Skiddaw, And if the great outdoors, the fells and moors are what set your spirit free, The Cumbrian hills is where you'll be Walking with Wainright and me By the lofty ridge of Mickledore, across the wide Traverse Through the cleft called Fat Man's Agony, that all but thin men curse These Southern Fells, Alfred's words commend it's worth 'a little piece of heaven that has fallen on the earth' By Bassenthwaite and Derwent then, the sweeping slopes pass by Beyond The Edge and Buzzard Nott, Gibraltar Crag stands high Here in the Northern Fells, John Peel did a-hunting go But above the ghylls and the rolling hills, Blencathra steals the show Now Alfred guides us etc Now Alfred guides us over the highest of mountains, Scawfell Pike, Helvellyn, Great Gable and Skiddaw, And if the great outdoors, the fells and moors are what set your spirit free, The Cumbrian hills is where you'll be Walking with Wainright, Walking with Wainright Walking with Wainright and me Walking with Wainright and me
