JOHNNY MINER Johnny Miner, you were born Never to face the rising sun, Now it's time that you were gone, farewell, Johnny Miner Farewell Durham, Yorkshire, too, Nottingham, the same to you New South Wales, bid adieu, farewell, Johnny Miner You struggled hard with slate and shale, Lungs turned black and faces pale, Now your body's up for sale, farewell, Johnny Miner They promised you the earth some time To work down in their stinkin' mine, Now the payment for their crime is farewell, Johnny Miner Johnny Miner, you were born Never to face the rising sun, Now it's time that you were gone, farewell, Johnny Miner chorus Cheer up John, Don't take it hard Unemployment is not so bad They'll treat you well in the knacker's yard, farewell, Johnny Miner
