If i had another penny ,
I would have another gill,
I would make the piper play,
The bonny lands of byker hill.

Chorus:
 byker hill and walker shore,
collier lads for evermore, 
byker hill and walker shore,
collier lads for evermore.

It's down the pits we'll go me lads,
And down the pits we'll go me mamms,
We'll try our will and use our skill,
To cut them ridges down below.

When first i came down to the pit,
I had no trousers nor pit shirt,
Now i've gotten two or three,
Byker pit's done well by me.

The pitmen and the keelers trim,
They drink bumble made from gin,
Then to dance they do begin,
To the tune of elsie marley.

The old coalcutter gets two shillings,
The deputy gets a half a crown,
The over man gets five and six,
Just for riding up and down.

Geordie johnson had a pig,
He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig,
All the way to the walker pit,

Byker hill
