Hey lads. Does anyone know the lyrics to the stonemans lament, johnny handle? I am 70 now & I remember listening to this very song( I'm Northumbrian) alas I forgot the lyrics. The starting of the song goes like this:                                                                                                                                                                                                    The colliers off & the fellas have left the flat, & the deppity comes & asks us what we're at, so I tell him & he stems the holes we've drilled & the shots gan off & the packs we built to lock the seam in the north of sitify-west.
