Laxey Wheel 01:43
When Laxey was a mining village many years ago, There were 600 miners working under Captain Rowe The bottom of the mineshaft was below the water line So they had to build a wheel to pump the water from the mine. (Chorus) And the Laxey Wheel keeps turning, turning, turning, In Lady Isabella's memory, And while the water flows The Laxey Wheel still goes And the Laxey river runs down to the sea. For three quarters of a century there were fortunes lost and found As miners dug the lead and zinc from underneath the ground, Then came a great depression in 1929 And the miners drew their wages for the last time at the mine (Chorus) It's stood now for a 100 years through wind, snow, rain and drought, And it will keep on turning till the sands of time run out, And though the main mine building is no more than a shell The Wheel still stands majestic in the shadow of Snaefell. (Chorus)

Dear thoughts are in my mind And my soul soars enchanted, As I hear the sweet lark sing In the clear air of the day. For a tender beaming smile To my hope has been granted, And tomorrow she shall hear All my fond heart would say. I shall tell her all my love, All my soul's adoration, And I think she will hear And will not say me nay. It is this that gives my soul All its joyous elation, As I hear the sweet lark sing In the clear air of the day.
