Subject: RE: Mining songs (UK)
Hi Pink Panther,
I remember doing a Miners' benefit in the Stockport Labour Club and singing Miners Lifeguard ( Keep your hands upon your wages...) and The Gresford Disaster ( because that's where I was born .) Harry Boardman sang the song his mother used to sing - 'I'll have a Collier for my Sweetheart.' Can't remember any of the others - it was a long time ago!
If you want the words , PM me.
