[Intro]
Hey there miner
Living life the way you want to be
Come on now miner
There's money, lots of money and security

[Verse 1]
In South Wales in seams over two and a half feet thick
There is still at least ten thousand million tons of the coal that made her famous
Enough for another four hundred years

[Verse 2]
Young men of Wales are finding
The industry that employed their fathers and their grandfathers
There's a future, a secure future, in Welsh coal today
(A secure future in Welsh coal today)

[Chorus]
Be a miner
It's an industry of men
We need more men
Be a miner
There's more to mining than dust and dirt, much more
Be a miner
You'll discover the excitement of going underground
There'll always be something new
[Post-Chorus]
A secure future in Welsh coal today

[Bridge]
South Wales coal field will be turning out best Welsh for a few hundred years yet
Its character is changing
As it turns confidently to what may lie ahead

[Outro]
A secure future in Welsh coal today
