Damien Dempsey Schooldays Over song lyrics

Schoolday'sover come on thenJohn,

Time to begetting your pit bootson,

Onwith your sark andmoleskintrousers,

Time you were on yourway,

Time you were learning thepit man's job,

Andearning the pit man'spay.

Come on then Jim it's time to go,

Time you were working down below

Time to be handling a pick and shovel,

You start at the pits today,

Time you were learning the collier's job,

And earning the colliers pay.

Come on then Dai, it's almost light,

Time you were off to the anthracite,

The morning mist is on the vally,

It's time you were on your way,

Time you were learning the miners job

And earning the miners pay
