lyrics

WAGON RULE


I'm a miner for ironstone.
I work in the Pecten Seam.
My tools are a pick and a candle
As I hew the workings clean.

Watch out for the wagons rolling.
They'll take your breath away
And the Doctor has no medicine
To save your life today.

I'm up in the early morning
Before it's getting light.
I walk from Beckhole to Grosmont.
I'll not be back afoor night.

Watch out for the wagons rolling.
They'll take your breath away
And the Doctor has no medicine
To save your life today.

We work the Bord and Pillar
And, when we're cutting out,
You'll hear the Deputy shouting
They're going to blast and rout.

Watch out for the wagons rolling.
They'll take your breath away
And the Doctor has no medicine
To save your life today.

The ironstone miner's life is hard
And the Putter gets his cut
But he rolls the wagons
And the wagon rules the lot.

Watch out for the wagons rolling.
They'll take your breath away
And the Doctor has no medicine
To save your life today.
