Prior to March 2017, I added the lyrics and chords to my videos using YouTube annotations. However, YouTube decided to make annotations obsolete at that time as they did not work on mobile phones, so since then I have been adding them using my own video editor app.
YouTube did promise that annotations that already existed on videos would still be visible on PCs, but they seem to have changed their minds on that and they are no longer visible.
Consequently, if you are watching a video uploaded before 2017, annotations are not available. 
If you are not able to get the annotations, send me your email address and I will let you have the file from my own collection.

Also known as 'The Sheffield Grinder' this song comes from the Steel city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire where, in particular, they make cutlery. The grinder is involved in the making of knives and other blades. In the days of the industrial revolution and following, even young children were made to work in these dangerous places and conditions. I learned this song from a book of songs from the Ian Campbell Folk Group.
