Lyrics
Coal Minin` SeaField Coal
©, Willie McCulloch, 2006
Come ma lad an` sit ye doon
an` have yer supper
Watch the pitwheel turn
tae bring yer faither home
Up from under darkness
An` safe
from minin` seafield coal
Close the windae ticht
fer winter winds are howlin`
Throw anuther piece
of coal intae the fire
Hear the miners commin`
Walkin` doon the street
on cobbled stone
A steady means of livin`
What job could offer more?
Then one day the manager was standin` at the door?
All his life the auld man
broke his back and struggled
Doon the pits the damp
would creep intae his soul
O lad?taenight yer faither?
won`t be commin` back from seafield coal
