Miners

VERSE 1 & 2 Our miners worked in the coal mine deep, Dust in their lungs, no time for sleep, Built this Hall with their heart and soul A mining town that was shaped by coal Our Miners worked in the dark of the mine, Dust in their lungs but their spirit shined, Broken backs on borrowed time, They built this Hall for yours and mine. CHORUS after every 2 verses We need you — to save our Hall! We need you — to stand up tall! Don’t be shy just come along, Come and sing our Welfare song! We need funds, we need hands too — The Welfare Hall we need YOU! Repeat Verse 3 &4 Don’t be shy, just heed our call, We need your hands, we need you all! Money, time — whatever you can, Please help us save our miners land! Through strike and sorrow, loss and pain, Through black-dust days and valley rain, Our Miners’ Hall will still remain, We’ll fight as one and rise again! Verse 5 &6 From bingo nights to kids at play, Volunteers are leading the way, It’s more than bricks — it’s who we are, A mine
