+ | When I sits at home by me own coal fire. | ||
+ | Then it's off to the pub, for a glass or two | ||
+ | For to work on a Monday, that would never do. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Chorus] | ||

+ | 2. Well I likes my whiskey and I likes my beer. | ||
+ | I'll drink fourteen pints and I'll not feel queer. | ||
+ | I can hold my liquor good as any man. | ||
+ | And I'll dance and sing as long as I can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Chorus] | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Well my boy's fourteen, he's a strappin' | ||
+ | And he'll go to the pits soon, just like his dad. | ||
+ | And when Friday comes, we'll pick up our pay. | ||
+ | And we'll drink together, to round out the day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Chorus] | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. And its when I'm dead, oh I know full well, | ||
+ | I'll not go to heaven, I am bound for hell. | ||
+ | And my pick and shovel, old Nick he will admire, | ||
+ | And he'll set me hewin' coal for his own hell fire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Chorus] | ||
