OUR ANNIVERSARY
"Put aside the pick," ye men of toil, Give rest to the hard, worked clay ; And put ye on tho merriest smile For , we'll all be happy to-day. :. For twelve long months, ye honest men. Have worked all the night and day; For men must work and women must
weep, Whether we're sorry or gay. Bui now we'll lay past sorrow aside And all respond to the call, For we know full well that "anited" we
stand, But "divided" we must fall. What though ye be a "miner" poor, Look at tbe men of old; What made our "Guvner" rich to^day, Were it not for you and "The Gold" ? Then here's a health to the working man Whose toil brings forth the gold; Success! success! to the "poor old Thames," .; \ When they work the "deep, levels'of old, ■■■:'■ .
But now the pleasant sun is up, Shining so bright and clear . For well he knows the Are fond of real good cheer,
CHORUS. Then put away the shovel and the pick And, boys, get ready to run,; • And show that you love the Union true>For to-day we'll have some fun. ,!.Union.
