WE AIN'T GONNA DIG NO MORE
by
Matt McGinn
We ain’t gonna dig no more, no more
Ain’t gonna dig no more
The miners say till we get more pay
We ain’t gonna dig no more
My daddy was a mining man
I’m a miner’s son
I’ll stick with the mining folk
Till my days are done
We ain’t gonna dig no more, no more
Ain’t gonna dig no more
The miners say till we get more pay
We ain’t gonna dig no more
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Poor old Ted thought Coal was dead
Till he brought Ted to his knee
We ain’t gonna dig no more, no more
Ain’t gonna dig no more
The miners say till we get more pay
We ain’t gonna dig no more
Twenty measly pounds a week
For a man that never shirks
Twenty thousand pounds a year
For a man that never works
We ain’t gonna dig no more, no more
Ain’t gonna dig no more
The miners say till we get more pay
We ain’t gonna dig no more
