11 Welland canal

(Verse) You may wonder why there is a Welland canal This question has lead me to be compelled to tell So pull up a chair, Listen if you dare It’s an interesting reason, even though it only operates in the warm seasons (Chorus) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls the escarpment is too tall So they build the Canal with locks So companies can shift out their stocks (whoa whoa yeah) (Verse 2) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls, Or tip over from Lake Erie into the River below So the 8 locks of Merits vision, allows the ships to go up the hill in precision. (Verse) In Thorold, there lies a marvel to behold Flight locks towering, a sight to unfold Massive structures, engineering grand They lift ships high, as if by magic hand (Chorus) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls the escarpment is too tall So they build the Canal with locks So companies can shift out their stocks (whoa whoa yeah) (Verse 2) You can take your yacht through but you will have to yield to the massive ships crew It's a commercial ship canal avoiding the Falls and the dangerous Niagara river claws Chorus) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls the escarpment is too tall So they build the Canal with locks So companies can shift out their stocks (whoa whoa yeah) (Guitar solo) (Chorus) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls the escarpment is too tall So they build the Canal with locks So companies can shift out their stocks (whoa whoa yeah) (Chorus) Ships cannot go up Niagara Falls the escarpment is too tall So they build the Canal with locks So companies can shift out their stocks (whoa whoa yeah)
