A miner's life is like a sailor
On board a ship to cross the waves
Every day his life's in danger
Many ventures being brave
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
Careless miners always fail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
You've been docked and docked again, boys
You've been loading three for one
What's the use in all your working
When your mining days are done?
Worn out shoes and worn miners
Blackened lungs and faces pale
Oh, keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
In conclusion, bear in memory
Keep this password in your mind
Worker's strength cannot be broken
When unions be combined
Stand up tall and stand together
Victory for you prevail
Oh, keep your hands upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners, stand together
Do not heed the Coal Board's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
