Thread Name: Req: songs about Pretoria Pit Disaster(Lancashire)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Pretoria Pit Disaster (Lancashire)
Does anyone know where the lyrics come from - perhaps one of the Houghton Weavers themselves?

The tune will be familiar to many from another mining song, Tommy Armstrong's 'The Durham Lockout' (though perhaps that is also a tune that he, too, gained from elsewhere?)
