[Intro]
It was a sad day at the Ogilvie Colliery in the Rhymney Valley when the pits finally closed after bring in operation for 60 years
This means that all the pits at the top end of the Rhymney Valley have now been closed down
35 years of loyal service in the industry
There must be more than just "put them over in the next pit"

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
You're selling your son's job, not your job

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
When you're a young pit goer, like this, you wanna pick up the other pitmates, every one of them
"United we stand, united we bloody fall," the lot of you ought to say

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
The offers that we've been having now, nothing short of disgusting
They've been promising this and promising that
We know no [?] if we're gonna end up with a job
The way it's going now, we've been chucked on the scrapheap

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
The union have accepted it, the party have accepted it, and they've made known to us in no uncertain terms, that we've reached the end of the road
