the collier lad - maddy prior lyrics
i went out to get some water
get some water for my tea
caught my foot and down i stumbled
a collier lad’s come kissing me
my mother said i mustn’t have a collier
it would surely break her heart
i don’t care what my mother tells me
i’ll have a collier for my sweetheart
if you leave your collier sweetheart
i’ll buy you a guinea gold ring
you shall have a silver cradle
for to rock your baby in
i don’t want your silks and satins
i don’t want a guinea gold ring
i don’t want a silver cradle
for to rock my baby in
collier lads get gold and silver
ferranti’s lads get nowt but brass
who’d be married to a lad from ferranti’s
when there are plenty of collier lads
my mother said i could be a lady
if from the collier lad i’d part
i’d sooner walk on the bottom of the ocean
than i’d give up my collier sweetheart
i went out to get some water
get some water for my tea
caught my foot and down i stumbled
a collier lad’s come kissing me
