Hell Row was broken cottages by the brook on Greenhill Lane, Colliers and lovers worked in gin-pits fields away. They worked in gin-pits fields away, Lord. They worked in gin-pits fields away 2. The brook ran under alder trees, some soiled by mines within, The coal drawn to the surface by beasts circling round a gin. By beasts circling round a gin, Lord By beasts circling round a gin I’m your Son I’m not her Lover Lord, Hell Row has darkened deep my soul 3. He realised how hard it was for his wife not to waste, His sympathy was quickened by his penitence and haste By his penitence and haste, Lord By his penitence and haste 4. He came home from the pit that night, and stayed the evening till But he could not stay at home, he was almost sober still He was almost sober still, Lord He was almost sober still I’m your Son I’m not her Lover Lord, Hell Row has darkened deep my soul 5. The country all was dark and still, and stars shone up in place Beyond the terror and the void was no time, only space. There was no time, only space, Lord There was no time, only space. 6. She was all that held him up, himself, amid this mast. I’m your son and not her lover lord, he said his mouth set fast Oh he said his mouth set fast, Lord He said his mouth set fast I’m your Son I’m not her Lover Lord, Hell Row has darkened deep my soul I’m your Son I’m not her Lover Lord, Hell Row has darkened deep my soul credits released 10 September 2013 DH Lawrence & The Vaudeville Skiffle Show
