Biografia:
Alex Glasgow was one of the pre-eminent folk singers and song writers of North East England. He is perhaps most famous for his rendition of the traditional North-Eastern song "Dance To Thi Daddy", used as the theme to the 1970s English TV drama "When The Boat Comes In". However, his extensive back catalogue includes some of the most moving and emotive working class socialist anthems that the UK has produced.
Albums include Songs Of Alex Glasgow I and II, the music to Close the Coalhouse Door, Joe Lives, and Now and Then.

CLOSE THE COALHOUSE DOOR
(Alex Glasgow)
[Intro]
Am
[Chorus 1]
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's blood inside,
Am G
Blood from broken hands and feet,
Am G
Blood that's dried on pit-black meat,
Am G
Blood from hearts that know no beat.
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's blood inside.
[Chorus 2]
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's bones inside,
Am G
Mangled, splintered piles of bones,
Am G
Buried 'neath a mile of stones,
Am G
Not a soul to hear the groans.
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's bones inside.
[Chorus 3]
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's bairns inside,
Am G
Bairns that had no time to hide,
Am G
Bairns that saw the blackness slide,
Am G
Bairns beneath the mountainside.
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad. There's bairns inside.
[Chorus 4]
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad, and stay outside.
Am G
Geordie's standin' at the dole,
Am G
And Mrs Jackson, like a fool,
Am G
Complains about the price of coal.
Am C G Am
Close the coalhouse door, lad, there's blood inside.
Am Am Am
There's bones inside. There's bairns inside, so stay outside.
