Mother she was a school cook
Father he drove a pick-up truck
This country, it made my family

The Tories they made redundancy

They gave us poor clothes for bad weather
Never thought we'd see the like again ever
Like taking coal
Like taking coal to Newcastle.

Let's go back many years from now
Back to the year of 1844
As the Redskins say the miners are getting organised
Same story worker against worker

They gave us poor clothes for bad weather
Never thought we'd see the like again aver

Like taking coal
Like taking coal to Newcastle
