lyrics

COLLIER'S RANT

As me and my marrers were going to work
We met with the Devil it was in the dark
I up with my pick it was in the neet
I knocked off his horns likewise his clubfeet

Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Follow the horses canny lad-o
Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Away lie away me canny lad-o

Marrer oh marrer now what do you think
I've broken my bottle and spilt all my drink
I've lost my tools among the great stones
Draw me to the shaft lad it's time to go home

Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Follow the horses canny lad-o
Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Away lie away me canny lad-o

As me and my marrer were loading the tram
His laugh it went out and my marrer went wrong
You would have laughed to see the fine game
Old Nick took my marrer and I took the tram

Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Follow the horses canny lad-o
Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Away lie away me canny lad-o

So here's my horses and here's my tram
Two horns full of grease will make her to gan
There's my marrer all stretched on the ground
You can tear up his shirt his mining's all done

Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Follow the horses canny lad-o
Follow the horses Johnny me laddie
Away lie away me canny lad-o

(Trad. arr. The Whisky Priests)
