[Intro]
Em
[Chorus]
Oh, it's in the evening, Dafter dark
A Emblackleg miner Dgoes to work
With his Emmoleskin pants and a Ddirty shirt
There Emgoes the Dblackleg Emminer
[Verse]
Oh, he takes his pick and Ddown he goes
To Emhew the coal that Dlies below
There's Emnot a woman in this town Drow
Would Emlook at a Dblackleg Emminer
[Chorus]
Oh, it's in the evening, Dafter dark
The Emblackleg miner Dgoes to work
With his Emmoleskin pants and a Ddirty shirt
There Emgoes the Dblackleg Emminer
[Verse]
Ah, Deleval is a terrible Dplace
They Emrub wet clay in a Dblackleg's face
'EmRound the pits they Drun a footrace
To Emcatch the Dblackleg Emminer
[Verse]
Now don't go near the DSeghill mine
AEmcross the top they've Dstretched a line
To Emcatch the throat and Dbreak the spine
Of the Emdirty Dblackleg Emminer
[Chorus]
Oh, it's in the evening, Dafter dark
The Emblackleg miner Dgoes to work
With his Emmoleskin pants and his Ddirty shirt
There Emgoes the Dblackleg Emminer
[Verse]
Now take this pick and Dduds as well
And Emhurl them down the pit of DHell
So Emoff you go and Dfare you well
You Emdirty Dblackleg Emminer
[Verse]
Now join the union Dwhile you may
Don't Emwait to your Ddying day
That Emmay not be so Dfar away
You Emdirty Dblackleg Emminer
[Chorus]
Oh, it's in the evening, Dafter dark
The Emblackleg miner Dgoes to work
With his Emmoleskin pants and his Ddirty shirt
There Emgoes the Dblackleg Emminer
[Chorus]
Oh, it's in the evening, Dafter dark
The Emblackleg miner Dgoes to work
With his Emmoleskin pants and his Ddirty shirt
There Emgoes the Dblackleg Emminer
