Felipa Any May songs? (344* d) RE: Any May songs? 09 May 22


A version of THE COALMINER AND THE PITMAN'S WIFE has these lines in the last verse

Well, the pit gates are locked, little more I've to say,
I was turned out of my house on the thirteenth of May.

source: Dallas:One Hundred Songs of Toil 1974

The lyrics are among the versions posted at Mudcat thread
https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=68589#3285561

These lines aren't in the versions I've heard so I don't know what recording to recommend. The discussion thread does include some links to recordings; the discussion is partly about the different tunes that versions of The Coalminer and the Pitman's Wife are set to.
