+**Chorus:**
+//I can hew boys, I can hack it out
+I can hew the coal, I can dance and shout.
+I can hew boys, coal that's black and fine,
+I'm a collier lad, working down the mine. //
+. On Saint Monday's day, it's well I do admire,
+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]
+. 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]
+. Well my boy's fourteen, he's a strappin' lad
+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]
+. 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]
