[Verse]
E B E B
In our Durham County, boys, I am sorry for to say
E B G#m
That hunger and starvation are increasing every day
B E B G#m
For the want of food and coals, we know not what to do
B E B E B
But with your kind assistance, we will see the struggle through
[Verse]
E B E B
I need not state the reason why we have been brought so low
E B G#m
The masters have behaved unkind, as everyone will know
B E B G#m
Because we won't lie down, boys, and let them treat us as they like
B E B E B
To punish us they've stopped the pits and caused the present strike
[Verse]
E B E B
The pulley wheels have ceased to move, that once went swift around
E B G#m
The horses and the ponies too, all brought from underground
B E B G#m
Our work is taken from us now, they care not if we die
B E B E B
For they can eat the best of food and drink the best when dry
[Verse]
E B E B
The miner and his wife too, each morning have to roam
E B G#m
To seek for bread to feed their children at home
B E B G#m
The flour barrel is empty now, our true and faithful friend
B E B E B
Which makes the thousands wish today, the strike was at an end
[Verse]
E B E B
We have done our very best as honest working men
E B G#m
To let the pits commence again, we've offered to them ten
B E B G#m
The offer they will not accept, they firmly do demand
B E B E B
Thirteen and a half percent, or let the collieries stand
[Verse]
E B E B
Let them stand or let them lie, do with them as we choose
E B G#m
To give them thirteen and a half percent, we ever shall refuse
B E B G#m
They're always willing to receive, but not inclined to give
B E B E B
And very soon they won't allow a working man to live
[Verse]
E B E B
The miners of Northumberland, we shall forever praise
E B G#m
For being so kind in helping us, those tyrannising days
B E B G#m
We thank the other countries too, that have been doing the same
B E B E B E B
And every man who hears this song, will know we're not to blame
