Schooldays Over - The Dubliners

School day’s over come on then john,

Time to be getting your pit bootson

On with your sark andmoleskintrousers

time you were on yourway

time you were learning thepit man’s job

Andearning the pit man’spay

Come on then jim it’s time to go

Time you were working down below

Time to be handling a pick and shovel

you start at the pits today

Time you were learning the collier’s job

And earning the colliers pay

Come on then dai, it’s almost light

Time you were off to the anthracite

The morning mist is on the vally

It’s time you were on your way

Time you were learning the miners job

And earning the miners pay
