The a Week Rise
(E. Pickford)

Come all you who work down the mine
From Scotland to south from Teesdale to Tyne
sing you a song about the pound a week rise
And the men who were by the government's lies

And it's you go
Down below,
Where you never see the
And you're workin' in a
For your a week rise

In 19 and 60 a few ago
The leaders to Lord Robbins did go
Sayin' "We work very hard, day we risk our lives,
And we ask you here and now for a a week rise."

Well up Lord Robbins and he made this decree
He said "When the out-put rises, with you I agree
I'll raise up all your wages, I'll give to you pay
For I a miner and I worked hard in my day"

The miners they went home, they worked hard and
lungs filled with coal dust in the bosom of hell
The out-put rose by fifteen, eighteen and more
And two years had passed and gone it rose about a score

The miners they went, to get their hard earned
They asked Lord Robbins for their pound a week
Robbins wouldn't a pound he wouldn't give ten bob
He 'em seven and six and saing "Now get back to your jobs!"

So come all you colliers, take heed I say
Don't believe Lord Robbins he says he'll give fair pay
tell you to work hard and make the out- put rise
But you'll get pie in the sky instead of a pound a rise
