First Line: In the coal-pit, or the factory
Last Line: And a golden lot is mine.
Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Mines And Miners; Work; Workers
In the coal-pit, or the factory,
I toil by night or day,
And still to the music of labour
I lilt my heart-felt lay;
I lilt my heart-felt lay --
And the gloom of the deep, deep mine,
Or the din of the factory dieth away,
And a Golden Lot is mine.
