The Chieftains - School Days Over lyrics

Schooldays over, come on then, John Time to be gettin' your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers It's time you were on your way Time you were learnin' the pitman's job And earnin' the pitman's pay Come on then, Jim, it's time to go Time you were workin' down below Time to be handlin' a pick and a shovel You start at the pits today Time you were learnin' the collier's job And earnin' the collier's pay Come on then, Dai, it's almost light Time you were off to the anthracite The mornin' mist is on the valley It's time you were on your way Time you were learnin' the miner's job And earnin' the miner's pay Schooldays over, come on then, John Time to be gettin' your pit boots on On with your sark and moleskin trousers It's time you were on your way Time you were learnin' the pitman's job And earnin' the pitman's pay
