Walker Pits
Tune—Off she goes.
If I had another penny,
I would have another gill;
I would make the fidlers play
The Bonny Lads of Byker Hill.
Byker Hill and Walker Shore,
Collery lads for ever more;
Byker Hill and Walker Shore,
Collery lads for ever more.
When I cam to Walker wark,
I had ne coat nor ne pit sark;
But now aw’ve getten twe or three,
Walker pit’s deun weel for me.
Byker Hill and Walker shore,
Collery lads for ever more;
Byker Hill and Walker Shore,
Collery lads for ever more.
