[Bb]
Well me father was [C] a miner and his father was [Bb] before him [F] And they always had been proud to work [Bb] below
But since they fell me through Auburn's axe All [Eb] the lads have got their sacks [F] And away to work in England we must go
Farewell the colliery worker, the muffler and the cap [Eb] Farewell your underbelly [Bb] girls, we never will [C] come back
[Bb] The mines they [Eb] are a-closing and the [F] valleys are all doomed [Bb] There's no work [Eb] in the roundabout [F] as I'll be in [Bb] London soon
[G]
[Bb] No more the chapel singing [Eb] for that long ago was London [F] In the public house no more the [Bb] miner's song
For the population's dropping [Eb] as the pit wheels are a-stopping [Fm] And I can't afford to stay here [Bb] very long
[F] [Bb] Farewell the colliery worker, [F] the muffler [Bb] and the cap [Eb] Farewell your underbelly [Bb] girls, we never will come back
The mines they [Eb] are a-closing [G] and the valleys are all [Bb] doomed There's no work [Eb] in the roundabout [F] as I'll be in [Bb] London soon
[G] [Bb] To Herbert and Trearchy, [Eb] Tony and Liam to know it [F] Is to have won the town pantry [Bb] all adieu
For I can no longer wait [Eb] while Parliament debates [Fm] So upon farewell I'll bid to [Bb] all of you

Farewell the colliery worker, the muffler and the cap [Eb] Farewell your underbelly [Bb] girls, we never will come back
