A Miner's Life |
| 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 |
