Cam aa ye Lanarkshire minin men and listen untae me
Ye ken how we are sae oppressed by ithers ty-ranny
For improvement o’ the mines nae leisure time is found
Oor children gang neglected while wir warkin underground
warkin underground
warkin underground
Fae Simmerlee and Blantyre, fae Udston tae Greenfield
Fae Earnock tae Dykehead, Cadzow and Eddlewood
Fae Neilsland tae Laigh Quarter the Lanarkshire men all say
We’re nae tha likes a ither men that wark eight hoours a day
We wark all night and day
We wark all night and day
Oor maisters are tyrannical that we maun confess
Fir they over tax their warkmen and dae them sae repress
Nae ither occupation sae dangerous is found
We canna cry oor lives oor ain fan warkin underground
warkin underground
warkin underground
Fae Simmerlee and Blantyre, fae Udston tae Greenfield
Fae Earnock tae Dykehead, Cadzow and Eddlewood
Fae Neilsland tae Laigh Quarter the Lanarkshire men all say
We’re nae tha likes a ither men that wark eight hoours a day
We wark all night and day
We wark all night and day
[64-Count Drum Solo]
The sailer he does ploo the main and perils does gang through
But he sees the danger camin which a miner canna do
Wi fan roofs an fire damp the records can be found
How hunners yearly lost their lives while warkin underground
warkin underground
warkin underground
Fae Simmerlee and Blantyre, fae Udston tae Greenfield
Fae Earnock tae Dykehead, Cadzow and Eddlewood
Fae Neilsland tae Laigh Quarter the Lanarkshire men all say
We’re nae tha likes a ither men that wark eight hoours a day
