Sailors, too, wern't very fond of woman at the workplace, thought it would bring bad luck, (see Canadee-i-o in the DT). Some angry songs in the mining field or vein, Ewan McColl's "Go Down" & Ed Picket's "Ee Aye, Aa Cud Hew" or bordering on bitter/angry, Deborah Silverstein's "Draglines". Seams or seems that this may become a long thread, so here's a few more, "Crooked Jack", the Aussie transport song "Jim Jones, Stan Roger's "Harris & The Mare" & the Scottish version of "Geordie" & again bording on bitter/anger, from Northumbria & the 1715 rebellion "Drentwater's Farewell".
