A miner’s life is like a sailor's But for a ship to cross the waves Every day his life in danger Still he 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. Chorus: Union miners stand together Do not heed the owner’s tale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale. |
2. You’ve been docked and docked again boys You’ve been loading two to one What have you to show for working? Since your mining has begun Worn out boots and worn out miners Lungs of stone and children pale Keep your hand upon your wages And your eye upon the scale. Chorus:
3. In conclusion bear in memory |
