A miner's life is like a sailor on board a ship to cross the waves |
|
Every day his life's in danger, many ventures being brave |
|
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily, careless miners always fail |
|
Keep your hand upon your wages and your eye upon the scale |
|
Union miners, stand together |
|
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale |
|
Keep your hand upon your wages |
|
And your eye upon the scale |
|
You've been docked and docked again, boys, you've been loading three for one |
|
What's the use in all your working when your mining days are done? |
|
Worn out shoes and worn miners, blackened lungs and faces pale |
|
Oh keep your hand upon your wages and your eye upon the scale |
|
Union miners, stand together |
|
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale |
|
Keep your hand upon your wages |
|
And your eye upon the scale |
|
In conclusion, bear in memory, keep this password in your mind |
|
Worker's strength cannot be broken when unions be combined |
|
Stand up tall and stand together, victory for you prevail |
|
Oh keep your hands upon your wages and your eye upon the scale |
|
Union miners, stand together |
|
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale |
|
Keep your hand upon your wages |
|
And your eye upon the scale |
|
Union miners, stand together |
|
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale |
|
Keep your hand upon your wages |
|
And your eye upon the scale |
