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
