Dave & Julie	lyr/chords: Farewell Johnny Miner (Ed Pickford) (27)	Lyr Add: FAREWELL JOHNNY MINER (Ed Pickford)	31 Jul 02
These lyrics are taken from the 1970 vinyl "Folk On Friday" album, this track by The Northern Front, of whom I think author Ed Pigford (sic) was a member: FAREWELL JOHNNY MINER (Ed Pickford) Johnny Miner, you were born Never to see the rising dawn Now it's time that you were gone Farewell Johnny Miner! CHORUS: And farewell Durham, Yorkshire too Nottingham, the same to you Scotland, South Wales, say Adieu Farewell Johnny Miner They've promised you the earth sometimes To get coal from their stinkin' mines Now the justice for their crimes Is Farewell, Johnny Miner! You've battled with the sliding scale Lungs turned black & faces pale Now your body's up for sale Farewell Johnny Miner! And Farewell John, don't take it hard Unemployment isn't bad They'll treat you well in the knackers' yard Farewell Johnny Miner!
