A GOLDEN LOT by JOSEPH SKIPSEY

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.
