School[G7] day's[C] over come on then[Am] John,
[Dm]Time to be[F] getting your pit boots[G] on,
On[C] with your sark and[Am] moleskin[Em] trousers,
[Am]Time you were on your[F] way,
[C]Time you were learning the[Am] pit man's job,
And[Dm] earning the pit man's[G] pay.
[2]
Come on then Jim it's time to go,
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel,
You start at the pits today,
Time you were learning the collier's job,
And earning the colliers pay.
[3]
Come on then Dai,it's almost light,
Time you were off to the anthracite,
The morning mist is on the vally,
It's time you were on your way,
Time you were learning the miners job
And earning the miners pay
[Dm]Time to be[F] getting your pit boots[G] on,
On[C] with your sark and[Am] moleskin[Em] trousers,
[Am]Time you were on your[F] way,
[C]Time you were learning the[Am] pit man's job,
And[Dm] earning the pit man's[G] pay.

Time to be handling a pick and shovel,

Come on then Dai,it's almost light,
Time you were off to the anthracite,
The morning mist is on the vally,
It's time you were on your way,
Time you were learning the miners job
And earning the miners pay

Back To School Again Lyrics
Back to school, we go again
An old routine, a familiar friend
With book in hand and pencil sharp
We're ready for a brand new start
The summer sun now fades away
As we return to desks and chairs
But in our hearts, we know it's true
These halls will hold adventures too
We'll learn new things and make new friends
With each day, our knowledge expands
We'll chase our dreams and reach for the sky
As we spread our wings and learn to fly
Back to school, a time for growth
To challenge ourselves and push our notes
For in these halls, we'll find our way
And become the leaders of tomorrow's day
We'll laugh and share and create memories
That we'll hold onto, for eternity
For though the days may sometimes feel long
The years will fly and soon we'll be gone
So let's make the most of every class
And cherish these moments, they'll never pass
For back to school, we'll always remember
As a time of growth, a time of splendor.
How I Long For My School Days Song Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh how I long for my school days
When life was simple in so many ways
Waking up early, rushing to catch the bus
Butterflies in my stomach, feeling a little nervous
Chorus:
Those were the days, oh how I miss them
Friends and laughter, no worries or problems
Learning and growing, making memories
Oh how I long for my school days, can't you see?
Verse 2:
Homework and tests, they seemed so tough
But now I realize, it wasn't really that rough
Teachers who pushed us to do our best
And friends who stood by us through every test
Chorus:
Those were the days, oh how I miss them
Friends and laughter, no worries or problems
Learning and growing, making memories
Oh how I long for my school days, can't you see?
Bridge:
Now I'm all grown up, and life's moving fast
But sometimes I wish, those school days would last
Where innocence and dreams were all we knew
Oh how I long for my school days, how about you?
Chorus:
Those were the days, oh how I miss them
Friends and laughter, no worries or problems
Learning and growing, making memories
Oh how I long for my school days, can't you see?
Outro:
Oh how I long for my school days
But I'll hold on to the memories, in so many ways
For they shaped who I am, and I'll never forget
Those precious school days, I'll always treasure and never regret.
