The Young Tradition - Byker Hill (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics Byker Hill (Live) - The Young Tradition



If I had another penny
I would have another gill
I would make the piper play
The bonny lass of Byker Hill
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
The pitman and the keelman trim
They drink bumble made from gin
Then to dance they do begin
To the tune of "Elsie Marley"
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
When first I went down to the dirt
I had no cowl nor no pit shirt
Now I've gotten two or three
Walker Pit's done well by me
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
Geordie Johnson he had a pig
He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig
All the way to Walker Shore
To the tune of "Elsie Marley"
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads forevermore
