This song has links to the 'Miners' Lifeguard from the US & also an old Welsh hymnn, which may well be the original tune- hence Mick Tems' version in 1977?
It's become popular in the folk clubs, normally a three verse version, and part of the Cotia Colliery/old Birtley folk club's honouring of Jack Elliott at the anuual Durham Miners' Gala.
The 2017 performance of this can be seen on youtube- I don't do blue clickys, but put in   
             A Miners' Life- Durham          and you'll find it.
