lyrics

In the valleys to the west - in an old miner’s town
There’s the sound of my old man screaming aloud
‘The pit is your life - Don’t give me that lip’
I said ‘I’m cold and tired - Don’t make me go down’

Don’t make me go down
Don’t belong underground

I can remember the mood in the crowd
In March ’84 when it all turned around
‘Will we stand or give in - the say we are done’
‘We stand - They’ll not break us down’

Against horses and truncheons he stood his ground
Cries and insults I still hear the sound
Saw his face through the bars - I heard him say
‘That’s it for me Boy - they’re taking me down’

Battle lines were drawn in the dust of the coal
As a war was waged for an industry’s soul
As I watched from my window I saw them arrive
Brothers and fathers, daughters and wives
United as one ‘gainst the force of the law
And each of them knowing just what they fought for

They took it down
