Blackleg Miner

Traditional

[Chorus]
Oh it's in the evening after dark
That the blackleg miner goes to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner

[Verse 1]
He takes his pick and down he goes
To hew the coal that lies below
There's not a woman in this town row
Would look at the blackleg miner

[Verse 2]
Oh Delaval is a terrible place
They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face
Around the pit they run a footrace
To catch the blackleg miner

[Chorus]
It's in the evening after dark
The blackleg miner goes to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner

[Verse 3]
Don't go near the Seghill mine
Across the top they've stretched a line
To catch the throat and break the spine
Of the dirty blackleg miner

[Chorus]
It's in the evening after dark
The blackleg miner goes to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner

[Verse 4]
They take his pick and [?] as well
They hurl them down the pit of hell
It's off you go and fare thee well
You dirty blackleg miner

[Verse 5]
So join the union while you may
Don't wait till your dying day
For that may not be far away
You dirty blackleg miner

[Chorus]
It's in the evening after dark
The blackleg miner goes to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner
It's in the evening after dark
The blackleg miner goes to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner
