OH What A Day
Oh what a day this will be Oh what a day to be free Oh what a day to put tools away Oh what a day to be me
We’re striking to get better pay Bring better conditions our way So a man when he’s hurt Won’t be down in the dirt And left there to make his own way.
So that widows with bairns by their side Won’t be thrown out on the street to survive With no roof over their head no straw for their bed Left to get on with their lives
So that children some younger that ten Won’t go down in the pit with the men No time for book learning A pittance their earning Their childhood stolen from them
So a man can hold his head high Look the rest of the world in the eye And not be afraid to say I’m a miner by trade And as good as the next man am I.
