Have You Ever?
Schooldays over, come on then John
Time to be getting your pit boots on
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
Time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning a pitman's pay.
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 to be learning the collier's job
And earning a collier's pay.
Come on then Dai, it's nearly light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It's time you were on your way
Time to be getting your pit boots on
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
Time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning a pitman's pay.
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 to be learning the collier's job
And earning a collier's pay.
Come on then Dai, it's nearly light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It's time you were on your way
It Don't Hurt Me Half As Bad
It hurts me just to know I had to leave her
But when your eyes met mine I knew I would
Sometimes at night my conscience makes me suffer
But it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good
'Cause she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
So don't worry if it bothers me 'cause we both know it should
And it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good
Yes, she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
She could have done the things you do
But somehow never would
So it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good
No it don't hurt me half as bad
As holding you feels good
