A tale of life down the pits – and a very clever bird
They closed all the pits
they say it wernt safe
we were digging out the props keeping land up
They said
The Gas were strong
and sending our mates
off to dreamland
forever
But as well as hammer and pick
we had a new trick
up our sleeves
to look out fer stuff we couldnt see
Bright little bird , wi
Feathers o’ yellow
Chirped away – when safe, and quiet when not
Clever little fellow
