lyrics

Your Honour I swear
Your Honour I swear
That I'll never picket again
My word is as good as a po-liceman's, sir
I'm an honourable man like thi'sen
When the union they ask if I'm in, 'No!' I'll say
I won't climb in a car at the break of the day
You won't catch me near pits down Nottingham way
Cos I'll never picket again

Your Honour I swear
Your Honour I swear
That I'll never picket again
I'm a changed man now I promise you sir,
I've learned two things here mi'sen
In defending my job it's your peace that I breach
And then there's the lesson a truncheon can teach
That's to move fast enough to stay out of its reach
And I'll never picket again

Your Honour I swear
Your Honour I swear
That I'll never picket again
My word is as good as a po-liceman's, sir
I'm an honourable man like thi'sen
It's the rich that inherit the earth not the meek
You get laid-off in life turning the other cheek
And just like I said when I stood here last week
I'll never picket again
