Byker Hill |
| If I had another penny |
| I would have another gill |
| I would make the piper play |
| 'The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill' |
| The pitman and the keelman trim |
| They drink bumble made from gin |
| Then to dance they all begin |
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| When first I went down to the dirt |
| I had no cowl nor pitshirt |
| Now I’ve gotten two or three |
| Walker Pit’s done well by me |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| All the boys from Walker Shore |
| Drink half a pint then eighteen more |
| All the way they rant and roar |
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Geordie Charlton had a pig |
| He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig |
| All the way to Walker Shore |
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore |
| Collier lads for ever more |
| If I had another penny |
| I would have another gill |
| I would make the piper play |
| 'The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill' |
