Lyrics

[00:00.00] If I had another penny I would have another gill
[00:07.87] I would make the piper play The bonny lass of Byker Hill
[00:14.99] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[00:22.11] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[00:29.86] The pitman and the keelman trim
[00:33.47] They drink bumble made from gin
[00:37.23] Then to dance they do begin To the tune of Elsie Marley
[00:44.34] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[00:51.41] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[00:58.73] When first I went down to the dirt I had no cowl nor no pitshirt
[01:06.09] Now I've gotten two or three Walker Pit's done well by me
[01:13.42] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[01:20.44] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[01:28.61] Geordie Charlton, he had a pig He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig
[01:35.27] All the way to Walker Shore To the tune of Elsie Marley
[01:42.75] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[01:49.66] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[01:57.63] If I had another penny I would have another gil
[02:04.72] I would make the piper play The bonny lass of Byker Hill
[02:11.68] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[02:18.89] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[02:25.69] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
[02:32.64] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads for ever more
