Coals To Newcastle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mother she was a school cook
Father he drove a pick-up truck
This country, it made my family
The Tories they made redundancy
They gave us poor clothes for bad weather
Never thought we'd see the like again ever
Like taking coal
Like taking coal to Newcastle.
Let's go back many years from now
Back to the year of 1844
As the Redskins say the miners are getting organised
Same story worker against worker
They gave us poor clothes for bad weather
Never thought we'd see the like again aver
Like taking coal
Like taking coal to Newcastle
