31 May 13 - 06:22 PM (#3521333) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Boulby Mine From: GUEST,henryp The Tees-side Fettlers sang the Chemical Workers Song written by Ron Angel, a member of the group. Vin Garbutt sang the Potash Song, written by Graham Walker, about the Boulby potash mine. You can find both songs on youtube. |

31 May 13 - 06:37 PM (#3521336) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Boulby Mine From: GUEST,henryp According to Mainly Norfolk, the Pride of the North LP by the Fettlers, including Brian Edwards and Bob Skingle, contains a song listed as Doubly Mine written by Brian and Ray Edwards, Bob Skingle. I think that should be Boulby Mine. |

Lyrics posted with permission. I shall be sending a link to Bob and with luck he'll post here. Watch this site. BM ************************************************* BOULBY MINE Words, Brian and Ray Edwards; music, Bob Skingle I served me time on Tyneside as a welder in the yards. I did me share and laid the metal down Till the day when Shuffling Billy sadly told me "Get your cards" And I blew me packet at the Rose and Crown. CHORUS: So pack me duffel, Mary, my old darling. I'm sick of standing waiting in a line. The yards are laying off from here to Tyneside, So I'm going to try me luck at Boulby Mine. They told me there's a fortune to me made down on the moors Where they're digging out the potash by the ton. They're tunnelling like rabbits with their power-driven claws. They'll have tunnelled clear to Poland 'fore they're done. Me father told me, "Laddie, you must go and learn a trade. I don't want you lying on your back like me, For the only tools I've mastered are a pick-axe and a spade, But now the mine has got the best of me." I'm glad that my poor father never lived to see the day When I'm working down a hole to earn a pound But me pride will never let me go on welfare for me pay So in the morning I'll be underground. |
