Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I had another penny I would have another gill I would make the piper play "The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill" [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Verse 2] The pit man and the keel man trim They drink bumble made from gin Then to dance they all begin To the tune of the Elsie Marley [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Verse 3] First I went down to the dirt I had no cowl nor pit shirt Now I've gotten two or three Walker Pit's done well by me [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Verse 4] All the boys from Walker Shore Drink half a pint then eighteen more All the way they rant and roar To the tune of the Elsie Marley [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Verse 5] Geordie Charlton had a pig He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig All the way to Walker Shore To the tune of the Elsie Marley [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Verse 1] If I had another penny I would have another gill I would make the piper play "The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill" [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more [Chorus] Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more Byker Hill and Walker Shore Collier lads forever more
