• The Blackleg Miner

It’s in the evening after dark,
That the blackleg miner creeps to work.
With his moleskin cap and dirty shirt,
There goes the blackleg miner.

He’ll take his pick and down he goes,
To hew the coal that lies below.
There’s not a woman in this town row,
Will speak to the blackleg miner.
Cho:
Oh, join the union while ye may,
Don’t wait till your dyin’ day.
That may not be far away
Ye dirty blackleg miner.

Now, Dellarow is a terrible place
They rub black clay in the blackleg’s face.
Around the pit they run a foot race,
To catch the blackleg miner. Oh, join the union.....

They take his pick and tools as well,
And hoy them down the pit of hell.
Down ye go and fare thee well
Ye dirty blackleg miner. Oh, join the union....

Oh, don’t go near the Seghill mine,
Across the road they stretch a line,
To catch the neck and break the spine,
Of the dirty blackleg miner. Oh, join the union....
