Songtext von Johnny Miner

Johnny Miner, you were born Never to see the rising dawn Now it's time that you were gone Farewell, Johnny Miner Farewell Durham, Yorkshire too Nottingham the same to you Scotland, South Wales bid adieu Farewell, Johnny Miner You've battled with the sliding scale Lungs turned black and faces pale Now your body's up for sale Farewell, Johnny Miner They've promised you the earth sometimes To get coal from the stinking mines Now the justice for their crimes is Farewell, Johnny Miner Cheer up, John, don't take it hard Unemployment isn't bad They'll treat you well in the knacker's yard Farewell, Johnny Miner
