Em D
Oh, it's in the evening after dark
Em D
When the blackleg miner creeps to work

His moleskin pants and dirty shirt

To hew the coal that lies below

There's not a girl in this town row

Will look at the blackleg miner

Oh, Delaval is a terrible place

They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face
Em D
And around the heaps they run a race
Em D Em
To catch the blackleg miner

So divvent gan near the Seghill mine

Across the way they stretch a line

To catch the throat and break the spine

Of the dirty blackleg miner

So he grabbed his duds, his picks as well

And they hoy them down the pit of hell
