Schooldays Over

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 a collier's pay

[Verse 3]
Come on then Dai, it's almost light, time you were off to thе anthracite
The morning mist in on the vallеy, it's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner's job and earning a miner's pay

[Verse 4]
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 a pitman's pay
