| If I had another penny
|
| I would have another gill
|
| I would make the piper play
|
| 'The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill'
|
| The pitman and the keelman trim
|
| They drink bumble made from gin
|
| Then to dance they all begin
|
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| When first I went down to the dirt
|
| I had no cowl nor pitshirt
|
| Now I’ve gotten two or three
|
| Walker Pit’s done well by me
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| All the boys from Walker Shore
|
| Drink half a pint then eighteen more
|
| All the way they rant and roar
|
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Geordie Charlton had a pig
|
| He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig
|
| All the way to Walker Shore
|
| To the tune of the Elsie Marley
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| Byker Hill and Walker Shore
|
| Collier lads for ever more
|
| If I had another penny
|
| I would have another gill
|
| I would make the piper play
