Oh Clitheroe Castle you stand so tall
Pendle Hill shadows you in Lancashire's sprawl
Centuries pass you've seen it all
From medieval times to modern call
Bought by the people a mile of pennies
A monument to soldiers lost many
Wars of the Roses and Pendle Witches
Eight hundred years you've seen life’s stitches
Oh Clitheroe Castle you’re the gem
Travel to see your walls again
River and valley views so grand
Worth the climb you are the land
Built by Robert De Lacy sturdy and bold
Your stones and stories have been told
In this town you hold the crown
Best thing here never let us down
Standing proud on highest ground
This place is open all year round
From dawn to dusk you watch the town
Clitheroe Castle you never frown
Oh Clitheroe Castle you’re the gem
Travel to see your walls again
River and valley views so grand
Worth the climb you are the land
