Aa'm Glad The Strike's Done chords by The High Level Ranters, Harry Boardman, Dick Gaughan
Verse 1
G
D
A
D
Oh, was glad
the strikes done
A
shooted along Geordie Reed
D
To the group that was standing around
For the care and anxiety's
A
now torn me heed
D
And I was getting as thin as a hone
A
For an army in Jenny had
D
promised to wed
When the money to start -house was won
A
G
But the unlucky stock
D
caused more spirits to drop
So I's glad,
A
D
A
D
very glad the strike's done
I's glad the strike's done,
A
said a half -grown lad
D
How a brasset was getting so short
And the bowlin' and the runnin'
A
was gone to the bard,
D
And we'd nigh seen the finish to sport.
A
To Newcastle races,
D
some merry and blight,
A
Well yet start like a shot of a gun.
G
And it's nae now a late to
D
back one for the plate,
So I's glad,
A
D
A
I'm very glad the strike's done.
D
I was glad the strike's done
A
for the sake of me wife
D
Says the brave little chap for the crowd
For the pinchin' and plannin'
A
and sorrow and strife
D
Nearly had the poor lass in a shroud
A
Now cannae bid Benzel
D
look tidy and trim
A
When the chapel on Sunday's the tune
G
And how thankful, says he,
D
everybody should be
A
D
A
D
That the unlucky strike is now done
Was glad the strike's done,
A
cried out Shockey Padjou
D
And his words expressed all that he said
For his face wore a smile
A
and his lips give a smack
D
As he talked to the prospects of trade
A
Oh, the business,
D
what thrivers it did once before,
A
In the wheels of prosperity run.
G
Aye, and I'll get me whack,
D
see his shop keep a jack,
So I's glad, I'm very glad
A
D
A
D
the strike's done.
Then the crowd all agreed
A
with the nod of the heed,
Though I pleased the bad
D
job was put straight,
In a woman or two,
A
as the crowd that passed through
Gave full vent to their happy delight
D
A
While the bands in the street
D
were their voices so sweet
A
In the height of the glory and fun
G
Shoot it hip, hip, hooray,
D
the way it settled the day
And we're glad,
A
D
very glad the strike's done you
Aa'm Glad The Strike's Done
