Lyrics

Schooldays over, come on then John, Time to be gettin' your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers, It's time you were on your way Time you were learning the pitman's job And earning the pitman's pay Come on then Jim, it's time to go, Time you were working down below Time to be handling a pick and a shovel You start at the pits today Time you were learning the collier's job And earning the collier's pay Come on then Dai, it's almost light, Time you were off to the anthracite The morning mist is on the valley, It's time you were on your way Time you were learning the miner's job And earning the miner's pay Schooldays over, come on then John, Time to be gettin' your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers, It's time you were on your way Time you were learning the pitman's job And earning the pitman's pay
