1
It's in the evening after dark
2
When the blackleg miner creeps to work
3
With his moleskin pants and dirty shirt
4
There goes the blackleg miner
5
Well he grabs his duds and down he goes
6
To hew the coal that lies below
7
There's not a woman in this town row
8
Will look at the blackleg miner
9
Oh Delaval is a terrible place
10
They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face
11
And around the heaps they run a foot race
12
To catch the blackleg miner
13
And divvnt gan near the Seghill mine
14
Across the way they stretch a line
15
To catch the throat and break the spine
16
Of the dirty blackleg miner
17
They grab his duds and his picks as well
18
They hoy him down to the pit of hell
19
Down you go and fare yee well
20
You dirty blackleg miner
21
It's in the evening after dark
22
When the blackleg miner creeps to work
23
With his moleskin pants and dirty shirt
24
There goes the blackleg miner
25
So join the union while you may
26
Don't wait 'til your dying day
27
For that may not be far away
28
You dirty blackleg miner
