there is a song with a verse as follows


Now Goldberg ,he's a jewboy, an interesting chap.
Whenever he's not underground he wears his little cap.
he's not exactly powerful but he works until he dropw
And when we come to tally up ,its Goldie comes out tops.
Dont ask him about his family, he just goes kind of quiet.Dont ask him about the Germans.lest you want to start a riot.
But another tub of coal is another buried Hun
And he wont stop hauling coals intil we've won


Chorus
aint it hard, aint it hard
Bevin Boys they called us
'Down the mine ' they said.
They never gave us a uniform ,just a helmet for our heads.
But we're just as good as our brothers who are serving on the line
the Bevin Boys are working down the mine



The song is 5 verses long, this is v 4


it describes life being a Bevin Boy during WW11 in Britain!!

Only in recent years were they acknowledged and allowed to march at the Cenotaph

Guess what happened next as I was singing this in the street as recently as last Saturday.!!!!!

song 'Bevin Boys' by Tony Geen which won the Maidenhead Folk Club songwriting competition 2003
