Byker Hill - Traditional, Arr. by Andy Wallace, Wallace Wood
    If I had another penny, I would have another gill
    I would make the piper play "The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill."

    [Chorus]
    Byker Hill and Walker Shore
    Collier lads forever more
    Byker Hill and Walker Shore
    Collier lads forever more.

    When first I went down to the dirt, I had no cowl, nor no pit shirt
    Now I've gotten two or three, Walker pit's done well by me

    The pitman and the keelman trim, they drink bumble made from gin
    Then to dance they do begin, to the tune of l'EIsie Marley."

    Geordie Charlton had a pig, hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig
    All the way to Walker Shore, to the tune of l'EIsie Marley."
