Jowl Jowl and listen lad
You'll hear the coal face working
There's many a marra missing lad
Because they wouldn't listen lad

My father always used to say
That pit work's more than hewing
You've got to coax the coal along
And not be riving and chewing

Now the deputy gans from flat to flat
While the putter rams the chumins
But the man at the face has to knaa his place
Like a mother knaas her younguns

I learned this from the singing of Jack Elliot of Birtley Co. Durham back about 1963.
