Fields of Light

about

Ironstone miners poaching habits and relationship with landowners.

lyrics

An ironstone miner works in the dark
Below the fields so green-o.
With bairns to feed , little time to lark
Among the fields so green-o.

Rabbit pie helps the bairns grow strong
Around the fields so green-o,
Makes wives to smile so can't be wrong
Close by the fields so green-o.

Keepers and gentry squeeze us hard
In and out the fields so green-o,
'Private Land' and gates that are barred
All over fields so green-o.

We're iron men working iron stone
Below the fields so green-o
But there's flesh and blood to feed above
Hard by the fields so green-o.

in darkness shut away, trapped every day
Beneath the fields so green-o
There're thanks for t' love
O't' bairns and wives above,
Among the fields so green-o.

An ironstone miner works in the dark
Below the fields so green-o.
With bairns to feed , little time to lark
Among the fields so green-o.
