Luke Kelly School Days Over
School days over, come on then John,
Time to be getting your pit boots on,
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,
It's time you were on your way,
Time you were learning the pit man's job
And earning the pit man's pay.
Come on then Jim, it's time to go,
Time you were working down below,
Time to be handling a pick and 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
School days over, come on then John,
Time to be getting your pit boots on,
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,
It's time you were on your way,
Time you were learning the pit man's job
And earning the pit man's pay.
