School Days Over (Deluxe Edition)

School Days Over - The Chieftains/The Low Anthem

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
