BYKER HILL



If I had another penny

I would have another Jill

I would make the piper play

The bonny lass of Byker Hill



Byker Hill and Walker Shore

Collier lads for ever more (2x)



The pitman and the keelman trim

They drink bumble made from gin

Then to dance they do begin

To the tune of Elsie Marley



When first I went down to the dirt

I had no cow nor no pitshirt

Now I've gotten two or three

Walker Pit's done well by me

Geordie Charlton, he had a pig

He hit it with a shovel and it danced a jig

All the way to Walker Shore

To the tune of Elsie Marley
