To the group that was standing a -roam
For the care and anxiety's
And I was getting as thin as a home
Jenny had promised to wed
When the money to start -house was won
caused more spirits to drop
I's glad, very glad the strike's done
I's glad the strike's done,
For the brasset was getting so short
And the bowlin' and the runnin'
And we'd nigh seen the finish to sport.
Newcastle races, some merry and blight,
Well yet start like a shot of a gun.
And it's near now well late
to back one for the plate,
I was glad the strike's done
Says the brave little chap for the crowd
Nearly had the poor lass in a shroud
Benzel look tidy and trim
When the chapel unsunders that yule
And how thankful, says he,
That the unlucky strike is now done
Was glad the strike's done, cried out
And his words expressed all that he said
For his face wore a smile and his lips give
As he talked to the prospects of trade
what thrivers it did once before,
In the wheels of prosperity run.
Aye, and I'll get me whack,
I's glad, I'm very glad the
Then the crowd all agreed with
In a woman or two was the crowd
Give full vent to the happy delight.
While the bands in the street
were their voices so sweet,
In the height of the glory and fun.
Shoot it hip -hip -hooray,
very glad the strike's done.
