SCHOOL DAYS OVER Lyrics

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 pitmanīs job,
and earning a pitmanīs pay

Come on then Jim, itīs 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 collierīs job,
and earning a collierīs pay

Come on then Dai, itīs almost light,
time you was off to the anthracite
The morning mist in on the valley,
itīs time you was on your way
Time you was learning the minerīs job,
and earning a minerīs pay
