A Song for the Miners


Recommended Posts

Ajax Frostbeard, in keeping up with his usual regular songwriting and postings, had created a song for the miners. He was amused with this song to the point of humming it to himself as he walked along the halls, posting it to the Workers Guild's, Remembrancer's, and Tavern's doors. He continued to hum as he returned home. Hopeful that the dwedmar would also enjoy his little tune.

The Ration Man

Spoiler

 

There once was a crew that drove their picks
through the hardest of stone, for ore to kick
from mines below deep down a-ground
Dive down me bully boys Go!

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minin' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!

 

Now they'd not been two days a-ground
when before their eyes, a gold vein found!
The Foreman called the dwed and swore
We'd take that ore in tow!

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minin' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!

 

Before a pick had touched the ore
micah gave way and a hole did bore!
but the foreman's life-line had not tore
he did not fall below!

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minin' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!

 

With no dwed lost, and ore was freed
The Ol' foreman's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the miner's creed
He'd take that vein in tow!

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minin' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!

 

For forty days or even more
Minecarts came up,and back once more
They hauled carts of gravel by the score
As the vein crept down below

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minein' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!

 

As far as i've heard the crew's still on
No dwed's come up, and the veins not gone!
The Ration man makes his usual call
to replenish the foreman crew and all!

 

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minein' is done,
We'll take our pay and go-oh!

Soon may the Ration Man come!
To bring us torches and bread and rum
One day when the minein' is done,
We'll take our pay and go!
