Inspired by reading the story of Calum's Road on the Island of Raasay, constructed by Calum MacLeod using a shovel, pick and wheelbarrow.
lyrics
The road reached so far
Then momentum dropped
No sign of a car
Round here ever since they stopped
They said it may continue
Sometime, the job is not so big
But for now I'll take my wheelbarrow
I'll take my shovel
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
It won't take long I tell myself
If I don't do it
why would anyone else?
They said it may continue
Sometime, the job is not so big
But for now I'll take my wheelbarrow
I'll take my shovel
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
It won't take long I tell my friend
If I won't do it
it will never end
They said it may continue
Sometime, the job is not so big
But for now I'll take my wheelbarrow
I'll take my shovel
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
and I'll dig
