Blackleg Miner Lyrics by Duo Noir

Sintra

2010

[Verse 1]
It's in the evening after dark
When the blackleg miner creeps to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner
[Verse 2]
He takes his pick and down he goes
To hew the coal that lies below
And there's not a woman in this town row
Will look at the blackleg miner
[Verse 3]
And Delaval is a terrible place
And they rub wet clay in the blackleg's face
And around the peak they run a race
To catch the blackleg miner
[Verse 4]
Now don't you go near the Seghill mine
For across the way they stretch a line
To catch the throat and break the spine
Of the dirty blackleg miner
[Verse 5]
And they take his picks and his duds as well
And they throw him down the pits of hell
O down you go and fare you well
You dirty blackleg miner
[Verse 6]
So join the union while you may
And don't wait 'til your dying day
For that's not so far away
You dirty blackleg miner
[Verse 7]
And it's in the evening after dark
When the blackleg miner creeps to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
There goes the blackleg miner
