Em
[Chorus]
D Oh, it's in the evening, after dark Em D A blackleg miner goes to work Em D With his moleskin pants and a dirty shirt Em D Em There goes the blackleg miner
[Verse]
D Oh, he takes his pick and down he goes Em D To hew the coal that lies below Em D There's not a woman in this town row Em D Em Would look at a blackleg miner
[Chorus]
D Oh, it's in the evening, after dark Em D The blackleg miner goes to work Em D With his moleskin pants and a dirty shirt Em D Em There goes the blackleg miner
[Verse]
D Ah, Deleval is a terrible place Em D They rub wet clay in a blackleg's face Em D 'Round the pits they run a footrace Em D Em To catch the blackleg miner
[Verse]
D Now don't go near the Seghill mine Em D Across the top they've stretched a line Em D To catch the throat and break the spine Em D Em Of the dirty blackleg miner
[Chorus]
D Oh, it's in the evening, after dark Em D The blackleg miner goes to work Em D With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt Em D Em There goes the blackleg miner
[Verse]
D Now take this pick and duds as well Em D And hurl them down the pit of Hell Em D So off you go and fare you well Em D Em You dirty blackleg miner
[Verse]
D Now join the union while you may Em D Don't wait to your dying day Em D That may not be so far away Em D Em You dirty blackleg miner
[Chorus]
D Oh, it's in the evening, after dark Em D The blackleg miner goes to work Em D With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt Em D Em There goes the blackleg miner
[Chorus]
D Oh, it's in the evening, after dark Em D The blackleg miner goes to work Em D With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt Em D Em There goes the blackleg miner
