Miner's Life

Miner's Life is like a sailor's,
On board a ship to cross the waves,
Every day his life's in danger
Many ventures, being brave.
Watch those rocks, they're falling daily,
Oh careless miners always fail;
So keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale.

Union miners, stand together,
Do not hear the owners' tale,
Keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale.

You've been docked, and docked again boys,
Oh You've been loading three for one,
Watch the meaning of your working
When your mining day's are done;
Sworn it boys, and sworn it miners,
Oh blackened lungs and faces pale,
So keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale.

Union miners, stand together,
Do not heed the owners' tale,
Keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale.

In conclusion, bear in memory,
Oh keep this password in your mind,
Miners strength cannot be broken
When in Union we combine;
Stand up tall, and stand together
Oh victory shall for you prevail;
So keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale

Union miners, stand together,
Do not heed the owners' tale,
Keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale

Union miners, stand together,
Do not heed the owners' tale,
Keep your hands upon your wages
And your eyes upon the scale
