Seven Nations - The Pound a Week Rise слова песни




The Pound a Week Rise (E. Pickford) Come all you colliers who work down the mine From Scotland to south Wales from Teesdale to Tyne I`ll sing you a song about the pound a week rise And the men who were fooled by the government`s lies And it`s down you go Down below, Jack Where you never see the skies And you`re workin` in a dungeon For your pound a week rise In 19 and 60 a few years ago The mineworkers` leaders to Lord Robbins did go Sayin` "We work very hard, every day we risk our lives, And we ask you here and now for a pound a week rise." Well up spoke Lord Robbins and he made this decree He said "When the out-put rises, with you I will agree I`ll raise up all your wages, I`ll give to you fair pay For I once a miner and I worked hard in my day" The miners they went home, they worked hard and well Their lungs filled with coal dust in the bosom of hell The out-put rose by fifteen, eighteen percent and more And when two years had passed and gone it rose about a score The miners they went, to get their hard earned prize They asked Lord Robbins for their pound a week rise Robbins wouldn`t give a pound he wouldn`t give ten bob He gave `em seven and six and saing "Now get back to your jobs!" So come all you colliers, take heed what I say Don`t believe Lord Robbins when he says he`ll give fair pay He`ll tell you to work hard and make the out- put rise But you`ll get pie in the sky instead of a pound a week rise
