School Days Over Lyrics

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 pitman´s job,  

 and earning a pitman´s pay 

  

 Come on then Jim, it´s 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 collier´s job,  

 and earning a collier´s pay 

  

 Come on then Dai, it´s almost light,  

 time you was off to the anthracite 

 The morning mist in on the valley,  

 it´s time you was on your way 

 Time you was learning the miner´s job,  

 and earning a miner´s pay
