Blackleg miners Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]It's in the evening after [G]dark
When the
[Am]Blackleg
Miners [G]creep to work
With their [Am]moleskin trousers
and [G]dirty shirts
There [Am]go the
[G]Blackleg
[Am]Miners
They take their picks and [G]down they go
To [Am]hew the coal that l[G]ies below
And there [Am]isn't a woman in [G]this town,
Ro
We'll [Am]look at [G]a
Blackleg
[Am]Miner
Oh,
Delaval is a ter[G]rible place
They [Am]rub wet clay in the
[G]Blacklegs' face
And [Am]round the pit -heaps
they [G]run a foot -race
With the dirty
Blackleg [Am]miners
Oh,
Dib and
Gan to the
[G]Seghill mine
Where [Am]across the way they [G]stretch a line
To [Am]catch the throat and [G]break the spine
Of the dirty
[Am]Blackleg [G]min[Am]ers
They'll take your tools and [G]duds as well
And [Am]throw them down to the [G]pit of hell
It's [Am]down you go and [G]fare you well
You [Am]dirty [G]blackleg [Am]miners
So join the union [G]while you may
[Am]Don't wait till your dy[G]ing day
For [Am]that may not be [G]far away
You [Am]dirty [G]blackleg [Am]miner[G]s
you
