The a Week Rise
(E. Pickford)

Come all you colliers who work down the
From to south Wales from Teesdale to Tyne
I'll sing you a about the pound a week rise
And the men who were fooled by the lies

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

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

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

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

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

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