A Miner's Life

Lyrics

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
 Chorus:
 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
 (Chorus)
 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
 (Chorus 2x)
