Subject: Lyr Req: Don't Know Title
Looking for lyrics to a song about a miner that lived in Halifax...Merle Watson (Doc Watson's son) did it ..here's some of the words .......

In a port across the bay.
Once I went to Halifax to spend me holiday
I met an ancient miner there,
Three times as old as I.
When I said I was a miner too,
He gave me this reply..............
