N.C.
It's in the evening after darkN.C.
When the blackleg miner creeps to workN.C.
With his moleskin pants and dirty shirtN.C.
There goes the blackleg minerN.C.
Well, he grabs his duds and down he goesN.C.
To hew the coal that lies belowN.C.
There's not a woman in this town rowN.C.
Will look at the blackleg minerOh, Delaval is a Eterrible place
They F#mrub wet clay in the Eblackleg's face
And aF#mround the heaps they Erun a footrace
To F#mcatch the Eblackleg F#mminer
[Verse]
And div'nt gang near the ESeghill mine
AF#mcross the way they Estretch a line
To F#mcatch the throat and bEreak the spine
Of the F#mdirty Eblackleg F#mminer
