Schooldays over, come on then John
|
Time to be getting your pit boots on
|
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
|
Time you were on your way
|
Time you were learning the pitman's job
|
And earning a pitman's pay.
|
|
Come on then Jim, it's time to go
|
Time you were working down below
|
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
|
You start at the pits today
|
Time to be learning the collier's job
|
And earning a collier's pay.
|
|
Come on then Dai, it's nearly light
|
Time you were off to the anthracite
|
The morning mist is on the valley
|
It's time you were on your way
|
Time you were learning the miner's job
|
And earning a miner's pay
|
|
Repeat First Verse
