Schooldays over, come on then John
Time to be gettin' your pit boots on
On with your sark and moleskin trousers
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning the pitman's pay
Come on then Jim, it’s time to go
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and a shovel
You start at the pits today
Time you were learning the collier’s job
And earning the collier’s pay
Come on then Dai, it’s almost light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It’s time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner’s job
And earning the miner’s pay
Schooldays over, come on then John
Time to be gettin' your pit boots on
On with your sark and moleskin trousers
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning the pitman's pay
