If I had another penny
I would have another gill
I would make the piper play
'The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill'Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreThe pitman and the keelman trim
They drink bumble made from gin
Then to dance they all begin
To the tune of the Elsie MarleyByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreWhen first I went down to the dirt
I had no cowl nor pitshirt
Now I've gotten two or three
Walker Pit's done well by meByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreAll the boys from Walker Shore
Drink half a pint then eighteen more
All the way they rant and roar
To the tune of the Elsie MarleyByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreGeordie Charlton had a pig
He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig
All the way to Walker Shore
To the tune of the Elsie MarleyIf I had another penny
I would have another gill
I would make the piper play
'The Bonny Lass of Byker Hill'Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever moreByker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
Byker Hill and Walker Shore
Collier lads for ever more
