shotgun marmalade – the blackleg miner lyrics
[verse 1]
it’s in the evening after dark
when the blackleg miner creeps to work
with his moleskin pants and dirty shirt
there goes the blackleg miner
[verse 2]
well he grabs his duds and down he goes
to hew the coal that lies below
there’s not a woman in this town row
will look at the blackleg miner
[verse 3]
oh delaval is a terrible place
they rub wet clay in the blackleg’s face
and around the heaps they run a foot race
to catch the blacklеg miner
[verse 4]
and divvnt gan near the sеghill mine
across the way they stretch a line
to catch the throat and break the spine
of the dirty blackleg miner
[verse 5]
they grab his duds and his picks as well
they hoy him down to the pit of h+ll
down you go and fare ye well
you dirty blackleg miner
[verse 1]
it’s in the evening after dark
when the blackleg miner creeps to work
with his moleskin pants and dirty shirt
there goes the blackleg miner
[verse 6]
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
