[Intro]
(Em)

(Em) (D)
Oh, it’s in the evening after dark
(Em) (D)
When the blackleg miner creeps to work
(Em) (D)
His moleskin pants and dirty shirt
(Em) (D) (Em)
There goes the blackleg miner

(Em) (D)
Well, he grabs his duds and down he goes
(Em) (D)
To hew the coal that lies below
(Em) (D)
There’s not a girl in this town row
(Em) (D) (Em)
Will look at the blackleg miner

(Em) (D)
Oh, (D)elaval is a terrible place
(Em) (D)
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

(Em) (D)
So divvent gan near the Seghill mine
(Em) (D)
Across the way they stretch a line
(Em) (D)
To catch the throat and break the spine
(Em) (D) (Em)
Of the dirty blackleg miner

(Em) (D)
So he grabbed his duds, his picks as well
(Em) (D)
And they hoy them down the pit of hell
