- Daisy Bell
I Suppose I shouldn't tell you But perhaps I might as well
I've a wife and seven children and they all sing Daisy Bell
My wife begins the chorus and the others follow suite
And the oldest in the corner sits and plays it on the flute
- Farewell to the Rhondda
FAREWELL TO THE RHONDDA
Frank Hennessy
Farewell the colliery worker, the muffler and the cap
Farewell you Rhondda Valley girls, we never will come back
The mines they are a-closing, the valleys all are doomed
There's no work in the Rhondda boys, we'll be in London soon
- Green Grows The Laurel
(Refrain)
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew,
Sorry am I love, I’m parted with you,
Sorry am I love, contented must be,
She loves another, far better than me.
I passed my love’s window both early and late,
And the looks that she gave me, it made my heart break,
- Pat Murphy Of The Irish Brigade
Pat Murphy of The Irish Brigade
'Twas the night before battle: and all through the camp
The soldiers lay close in their quarters
They were thinking no doubt, of their loved ones at home
Of mothers, wives, children and daughters
With his pipe in his mouth, sat a dashing young blade
And a song he was singing so gaily
- When The Breaker Starts Up Full Time
WHEN THE BREAKER STARTS UP ON FULL TIME
Me troubles are o'er, Missis Murphy
For the Ditchman next door told me straight,
That the breaker starts full time on Monday,
That's what he told me at any rate.
Sure the boss he told Mickey this morning,
When he's 'bout to enter the mines,
That the coal was quite scarce (down) 'bout New York,
