Dear guest tamsyncoble, thankyou for your verification thet Bill Lowndes is the author of this great song. I learnt it a long time ago from Bram Taylor of Leigh, Lancs near where I live.I actually wrote to your grandfather asking if it was alright for me to sing it though I never received a reply. Please tell him it was always well received and still is. Did he ever live in Lancashire where pit disasters often happened? Karen perhaps we can sing this together at the Getaway. I'm off in the morning and look forward to seeing you again and Mmario et al Theresa
