School Days over, come on then John,
Time you was puttin you pit boots on
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,
Time you was on your way
Time you was learnin the pitmanґs job,
And earning a pitmanґs pay
Come on then Jim, itґs time to go,
Time you was working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel,
You start at the pit today
Time you was learning the collierґs job,
And earning a collierґs pay
Come on then Dai, itґs almost light,
