Intro: Verse School day's over come on then John, time to be getting your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers time you were on your way time you were learning the pit man's job And earning the pit man's pay Verse Come on then jim it's time to go Time you were working down below Time to be handling a pick and shovel you start at the pits today Time you were learning the collier's job And earning the colliers pay Verse Come on then dai, it's almost light Time you were off to the anthracite The morning mist is on the vally It's time you were on your way Time you were learning the miners job And earning the miners pay Verse School day's over come on then John, time to be getting your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers time you were on your way time you were learning the pit man's job And earning the pit man's pay
