the melrose quartet - getting a rise lyrics

Loading...

1.as i was going to dartford

all on a winter’s day

those lads of kent were downward sent

with the pilot underway

and we were gettin’ a rise, gettin’ a rise with a tee i ee i o

we were gettin’ a rise, gettin’ a rise with a tee i ee i o

2.well we were feeling jammy

gone down to 8+hour shifts

then the foreman cries “you’ll be gettin’ a rise

every time you take the lift!”

3.the craic was up to ninety but the foreman’s facе was drear

“there’s industry in thе old country
but beggar+all happening here!”

4.and it’s oh the cruel compressor

and oh the miners’ moans

and oh the shock of the medical lock

when the wind gets in your bones

5.well love can move a mountain

but we could shift the moon

we could shovel to h+ll then sleep so well

that we wouldn’t wake up till noon

6.well some say digging’s lousy

but miners know it’s grand
when you’re down the hole you’ll bless the soul

of a dartford tunnelling man

- the melrose quartet lyrics
