  • makes me think of Trailer Park Boys, SE4EP8 "Workin Man"

  • Give it to her Rita

  • @helen60199

    well said, couldn't have put it better if i tried

    my dad's passed away now but when the pits closed a piece of him and many other men in our community went as well.

  • as a grandson of a miner from both sides of the family i take this song into my heart will cherrrish it with all my heart

  • brilliant

  • Why a 'tribute' page for coal miners in Nova Scotia? No-where are there lyrics linking the song to any place in particular.

    May as well be for NZ's Pike River mine - opened in 2008, closed in 2010 after 29 men were entombed within. It isn't an industry of your grandfather's day, people - it remains a risky industry in our time.

  • Very moving.... beautiful!

  • brilliant

  • This song reminds me of my lovely hard-working Father and all the miners who dug out coal from the bowels of the earth to maintain other industries reliant on coal for fuel and our homes too of course. The Miners were the backbone of this country - destroyed by thatcher helped along by the shameful actions of the steelworkers. This song makes me feel proud of who and what I am . RIP JOHN YOUNG 1922-1972.

  • Total respect due to all miners. Enough said
