Artist: The Young Tradition (Peter Bellamy, Royston Wood and Heather Wood)

Album: The Young Tradition (1965)

Lyrics:

If I had another penny

I would have another gill

I would make the piper play

The bonny lass of Byker Hill

Byker Hill and Walker Shore

Collier lads for ever more (2x)

The pitman and the keelman trim

They drink bumble made from gin

Then to dance they do begin

To the tune of Elsie Marley

When first I went down to the dirt

I had no cowl nor no pitshirt

Now I've gotten two or three

Walker Pit's done well by me

Geordie Charlton, he had a pig

He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig

All the way to Walker Shore

To the tune of Elsie Marley

The Young Tradition knew that coal miners have to fight daily for a safe workplace. To hear how miners who make safety complaints today are treated by outlaw coal operators, check out Raymond Crooke's song "Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All" on YouTube. It tells the true story of Kentucky coal miner Charles Scott Howard, who stood up for safety at an underground mine operated by Arch Coal and was fired as a result. He filed a whistleblower case, won his job back and is working in the mines again!
