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' |
