[Chorus]

School days over, come on then, John

It's time you were getting your pit boots on

On with your sark and moleskin trousers

It's time you were on your way

Time you were learning a pitman's job

And earning a pitman's pay

[Verse 1]

Come on then, Jim, it's time to go

Time you were working down below

Time to be handling the pick and shovel

You start at the pit today

Time you were learning a collier's job

And earning a collier's pay

[Chorus]

School days over, come on then, John

It's time you were gеtting your pit boots on

On with your sark and moleskin trousers

It's time you wеre on your way

Time you were learning a pitman's job

And earning a pitman's pay

[Verse 2]

Come on then, Dai, it's almost light

Time you were off to the anthracite

The morning mist is on the valley

It's time you were on your way

Time you were learning a miner's job

And earning a miner's pay

[Chorus]

School days over, come on then, John

It's time you were getting your pit boots on

On with your sark and moleskin trousers

It's time you were on your way

Time you were learning a pitman's job

And earning a pitman's pay

[Outro]

School days over, come on now, John

Time you were getting your pit boots on
