Thread Name: Lyr Req: Union Miner
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Union Miner
Local (UK) variations:

What have you to show for working
Since this mining has begun?
Worn out boots and worn out miners,
Lungs of stone and children pale.

Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale.

I've never heard the second & third verses over here.

Great, rousing song -- always goes down well.
