Miners of Durham Countyhave come together once a year
For their demonstration on Gala Day
This was the first Durham rally since
The pits were handed over to the people
This year, one of the popular attractions was Mr Herbert Morrison
Who spoke of the link of solidarity between miners and other workers
I want you men of the pits to come through
I want this great scheme of nationalization to succeed triumphantly
The whole country is watching to see
How this great new organization
This new experiment comes out
The great experiment of socialism in a democracy depends on you
The whole future we are trying to build up in our country
Is for all our people and all our children
When the stars look down and know our history
When the stars look down upon our past
And the stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we'll stand as one, beneath the sun
The stars look down upon our struggle
The stars look down and know the past
The stars look down and see a future bright at last
When we′ll stand as one, beneath the sun
Billy, do you know why they're on strike, like?
It′s to do with Maggie Thatcher, innit?
Why, what's she done, like?
