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