The Collier Lad |
| I went out to get some water |
| Get some water for my tea |
| Caught my foot and down I stumbled |
| A collier lad’s come kissing me |
| My mother said I mustn’t have a collier |
| It would surely break her heart |
| I don’t care what my mother tells me |
| I’ll have a collier for my sweetheart |
| If you leave your collier sweetheart |
| I’ll buy you a guinea gold ring |
| You shall have a silver cradle |
| For to rock your baby in |
| I don’t want your silks and satins |
| I don’t want a guinea gold ring |
| I don’t want a silver cradle |
| For to rock my baby in |
| Collier lads get gold and silver |
| Ferranti’s lads get nowt but brass |
| Who’d be married to a lad from Ferranti’s |
| When there are plenty of collier lads |
| My mother said I could be a lady |
| If from the collier lad I’d part |
| I’d sooner walk on the bottom of the ocean |
| Than I’d give up my collier sweetheart |
| I went out to get some water |
| Get some water for my tea |
| Caught my foot and down I stumbled |
| A collier lad’s come kissing me |
