The Pound a Week Rise - Dick Gaughan

Come all of you colliers who work down the mine

From Scotland to South Wales from Tees dale to Tyne

I'll sing you a song of a pound a week rise

And the man who was fooled by the Government's lies

And it's down you go down below Jack

Where you never see the skies

And you're working in a ding eon

For a pound a week rise

At nineteen and sixty a few years ago

The mine workers' leaders to Lord Robins did go

Saying "We work very hard every day we risk our lives

And we ask here and now for a pound a week rise"

And it's down you go down below Jack

Where you never see the skies

And you're working in a ding eon

For a pound a week rise

Then up spoke Lord Robins

And he made this decree

And "When the output rises then with you I will agree

To raise up all your wages

To give to you fair pay

For I was once a miner and I worked hard in my day"

And it's down you go down below Jack

Where you never see the skies

And you're working in a ding eon

For a pound a week rise

The miners they went home

They worked hard and well

With lungs full of coal dust in the bosom of hell

The output rose by fifteen

Eighteen per cent and more

And when two years had passed

And gone it rose above a score

And it's down you go down below Jack

Where you never see the skies

And you're working in a ding eon

For a pound a week rise

Then miners they went to get their hard won prize

To ask Lord Robins for their pound a week rise

Robins wouldn't give a pound

He wouldn't give ten bob

He gave them seven and six and said no

"Get back to your job"

And it's down you go down below Jack

Where you never see the skies

And you're working in a ding eon

For a pound a week rise

And come all of you colliers

Take heed what I'm saying

Don't believe Lord Robins

When he says he'll give fair pay

He'll tell you to work hard

To make the output rise

You'll get pie in the sky

Instead of a one pound rise
