From a Durham boy born and bred
We looked up to the pitman’s banner
Now we hear of men so proud
Are acting in a satanic manner.
Not the brave pitmen of the past,
These men are children of the dark
They can take pride in their heathen way
Now looking back, deserved the sack.
Want to dance on the grave
Of a Grantham greengrocer’s child
Be happy and pleased he’s lost his daughter
Cos no looking back at the heinous act
Miners you’ve dragged your reputation
For the slaughter.
