Catrin Lyr Req: reet down in t'coal hole- old'm tink (42) reet down in t'coal hole- old'm tinkers? 09 Jun 01

I am looking for the words to a song for a friend. We think it might be by the Oldham Tinkers, but not too sure... The lyrics we have so far are...

    We're reet down in't coal 'ole
    Where muck slaps up winders
    We've used al' the coal up -
    We're doon to the cinders
    When the bum bailiff calls
    He won't know where to find us,
    'Cos we're reet down in't coal 'ole
    Where t'muck slaps up winders.

We were also wondering if anyone has any idea where the phrase 'the bum bailif' comes from...

Any thoughts anyone??

Thanks,

Catrin
