Schooldays Over - Mary Black

Schooldays over come on then john

Time to be getting your pit boots on

On with your sack and your moleskin' trousers

Time you were on your way

Time you were learning the pitmans job

And earning a pitmans pay

Come on then jim its time to go

Time you were working down below

Time to be handling a pick and shovel

You start at the pits today

Time to be learning the colliers job

And earning a colliers pay

Come on then dai its nearly light

Time you were off to the anthracite

The morning mist is on the valley

Its time you were on your way

Time you were learning the miners job

And earning a miners pay

Schooldays over come on then john

Time to be getting your pit boots on

On with your sack and your moleskin' trousers

Time you were on your way

Time you were learning the pitmans job

And earning a pitmans pay

Come on then jim
