The Pound a Week
(E. Pickford)

Come all you who work down the mine
From Scotland to south Wales Teesdale to Tyne
I'll sing you a about the pound a week rise
And the men who were fooled by the government's

And it's you go
Down below,
Where you see the skies
And workin' in a dungeon
For your pound a week

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

up spoke Lord Robbins and he made this decree
He said "When the rises, with you I will agree
I'll raise up all your wages, give to you fair pay
For I once a and I worked hard in my day"

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

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

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