Oh come all you colliers who work down the mine

From Scotland to south wales from Teesdale to Tyne
从苏格兰到南威尔士,从提斯代尔到泰恩
I'll sing you a song about the pound a week rise

And the men who were fooled by the government's lies
以及那些被政府谎言欺骗的人们
In 19 and 60 a few years ago

The mineworkers' leaders to Lord Robens did go

Sayin' we work very hard

Every day we risk our lives

And we ask you here

And now for a pound a week rise

And it's down you go
然后你们下井去
Down below Jack
深入地下,杰克
Where you never see the skies
那里永远不见天日
And you're workin' in a dungeon
你们在阴暗的地牢中工作
For your pound a week rise
只为那每周一英镑的加薪
Well up spoke Lord Robens and he made this decree

When the out-put rises then with you I'll agree

I'll raise up all your wages I'll give to you fair pay

For I once once a miner and I worked hard in my day

Their lungs filled with coal dust in the bosom of hell

The out-put rose by fifteen

To get their hard earned prize
