You dug to survive like a mole underground Risking your life just to keep the bills down And what spare cash you made well you spent in this town You were born and brought up in this place There's a hole in the ground where the money came from There's hole in this town now the old mine has gone And the shop fronts are bordered from despair and fear With no chance of work and no signs of the old winding gear One man knew a decade before That the mines would be dead along with king coal So it's time to stand firm don't give into the dole Remember your sons and your daughters There's a hole in the ground where the money came from There's hole in this town now the old mine has gone And the shop fronts are bordered from despair and fear With no chance of work and no signs of the old winding gear So you fought like a dog to keep the old ways For the nurses the workers and their rights to a say But the times little change as back in old days Betrayed by all trades and their leaders There's a hole in the ground where the money came from There's hole in this town now the old mine has gone And the shop fronts are bordered from despair and fear With no chance of work and no signs of the old winding gear And the Grimethorpe' band played the miners' anthem As a tribute to halcyon days Sing follow the horses oh Johnny my laddie And the miners were forced out to graze There's a hole in the ground where the money came from Remember your past and the things you have done And don't ever forget your part in that year And the name and the faces of those who shut the old winding gear For there's no chance of work round here And the miners were turned out to graze Like pit ponies turned out to graze
