by Wilf Mitford, 1986
On the fifth of October on a bright and sunny day
Nineteen hundred and thirty-six, they set out on their way
There were two boys and a woman, two hundred and seven men
And a dog known as paddy, who left and returned again
CHORUS : They were the Jarrow Marchers, unemployment was there crime
Marching down to London town, from Jarrow on the Tyne
