Working down the mine.

300 hundred million years ago

From swamps, the peat began to grow

It squashed and hardened to what we know

Made trains and engines go.

We use an axe, we use a spade

To find the coal the earth has made

Children and women, girls and boys were

Working down the mine.

The mines are smelly, dark and hot

We pulled the waggons to the top

We couldn't see, we couldn't breath, we're

Working down the mine
