History is reflected in the words of many songs of many folk groups

   The Miner’s Lifeguard - - A miner’s life is like a sailor's - But for a ship to cross the waves - - Every day his life in danger Still he ventures being brave - Watch the rocks they’re falling daily - Careless miners always fail - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. - Chorus: - Union miners stand together - Do not heed the owner’s tale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale. 2. You’ve been docked and docked again boys - You’ve been loading two to one - What have you to show for working? - Since your mining has begun - Worn out boots and worn out miners - Lungs of stone and children pale - Keep your hand upon your wages - And your eye upon the scale.
