COAL MINING GIRLS

When their years then approach teenage In manual work they must engage So they’re sent out to earn a wage Some are sent to work in the pit A filthy world that’s candle lit To help owner make huge profit The collier men there hack and hack With pick axes they break the rock To win those tons of precious black Those colliers are but brutal men Girls try to keep away from them But there’s close contact now and then On this the word soon gets around Just what goes on there underground The true facts of this must be found Those poor girls dare not let on For victims they would soon become And also their jobs would be gone
