5.15 a.m.
snow laying all around [G]

a collier cycles home
from his night shift undergr[D]ound  [A]

past the silent pub
primary school, workingmens club [Em]

on the road from the pithead
the churchyard p[G]acked
with mining d[D]ead

then beneath the bridge

he comes to a giant car
a shr[G]oud of snow upon the roof
a mark ten jagu[D]ar  [A]

he thought the man was fast asleep
silent, still and deep  [Em]

both dead and cold
shot thr[G]ough
with bullet h[D]oles  [Gm7]

the one armed bandit man
came north to fill his boots  [D]

came up from cockneyland
e-type jags and flashy suits [Gm7]

put your money in

pull the levers
watch them spin [D]

cash cows in all the pubs
but he preferred the new nigh[A]tclubs

nineteen sixty-seven
bandit men in birdcage heaven  [Bm]

la dolce vita, sixty-nine
all n[G]ew to people of the tyne [D]    [A]

[D]who knows who did what

somebody made a call
they s[G]aid his hands

were in the pot
that he’d been skimming h[D]auls  [A]

he picks up the swag
they gaily gave away [Em]

drives his giant jag
off t[G]o his big pay d[D]ay  [Gm7]

the bandit man
came north to fill his boots [D]

came up from cockneyland
e-type jags and flashy suits  [Gm7]

the bandit man
came up the great north road [D]

up to geordieland

to mine
the mother lode [A]

[A]

 [D]

seams blew up or cracked
black diamonds came hard won [G]

generations toiled and hacked
for a pittance and black l[D]ung [A]

crushed by tub or stone

together
and alone [Em]

how the young and old
paid the pr[G]ice of c[D]oal  [A]

eighteen sixty-seven
my angel’s gone to heaven [Bm]
he’ll be happy there [G]
sunlight and sweet clean air [D]    [A]

[D]

they gather round the glass
tough hewers and crutters  [Bm]

child trappers and putters
the little foals [Em]and half-ma[A]rrows   [Em]

who pushed
and pulled the b[A]arrows [Em]

the hod boys
and the r[G]olleywaymen  [D]

i know all the people
there’s nobody new
soon we’ll be leaving
with the same old crew
on the green water
the tumbling sea

i could use a layoff
getting my strength back
but there’s a loan to pay off
and a few skipjack
so it’s a turnaround
back in the southerly wind
pirates coming in
to steal our gold
you can count yourself lucky
with a profit in the hold
in the dock
when we come in

dark is the night
i need a guiding light
to keep me
from foundering
on the rocks
my only prayer
is just to see you there
at the end
of my wandering
back in the dock

when you’re young and beautiful
your dreams are all ideals
later on it’s not the same
lord, everything is real
sixteen hundred miles of highway
roll back to the truth
and a song to give your mother
in your first recording booth

around the time of ‘clambake’
that old dream’s still rolling on
sometimes there’ll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippi’s cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll

but it’s a ways to go
back to tupelo

his mamma ran away
and his daddy beat him bad
and he grew up wild
good love he never had

he had a left
like henry’s hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead

well he hung with the hoods
he wouldn’t stroke the fans
but he had dynamite
in both his hands
boom bam
like the slammer door
the bell and the can
and the bodies on the floor

a bogey man
they didn’t like him

joe louis was his hero
he tried to be the same
but a criminal child
wears a ball and chain
so the civil rights people
didn’t want him on the throne
and the hacks and the cops
wouldn’t leave him alone

beware the bear’s in town
somebody’s money says
the bear’s going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles

at the foot of his bed
with his feet on the floor
there was dope in his veins
and a pistol on the drawer
there was no investigation
as such
he hated needles
but he knew too much

criss-crossed
on his back
scars from his daddy
like slavery tracks
the second-last child
was the second-last king
never again was it the same
in the ring

he had a left
like henry’s hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead

they never could be sure
about the day he was born
a motherless child
set to working on the farm
and they never could be sure
about the day he died
the bear was the king
they cast aside

beware the bear’s in town

i will make a switch to guitar
but the rules all still apply
they want to trust somebody
yeah, they want a stand up guy

there stands the bottle
here’s to absent friends
all these bottles
dead soldiers in the end
these days miracles
don’t come falling from the sky
raise your glasses to the doctor
to a stand up guy
to the doctor
a stand up guy

donegan’s gone
