A Miner's Life
Lyricist:Bragg Stephen William
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
