https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHJBsJD7-3Y
I went out to get some water Get some water for my tea My foot slipped and down I stumbled Collier lad come kissing me Chorus: Collier lads get gold and silver Factory lads get nowt but brass Who’d be married to a four-loom weaver? When there’s plenty of collier lads My mother said I mustn’t have a collier It would surely break her heart But I don’t care what my mother tells me I’ll have a collier for my sweetheart If you leave your collier sweetheart I’ll buy you a guinea gold ring You shall have a silver cradle For to rock your baby in I don’t want your silk and satins I don’t want your guinea gold ring I don’t want a silver cradle For to rock my baby in My mother said I could be a lady I f from my collier lad I’d part I’d sooner walk on the bottom of the ocean Than I’d give up my collier sweetheart.
