Subject: Lyr Req: Coal mining song
Hello,

I listened to a wonderful performance of a coal mining folk song at The Irregular Folk festival in oxford 2013/14. It was sung by one man without any instruments.

The song centered around a coal miner who was very angry at the coal for taking his loved ones and his health away from him. He would sing to the coal and get quite angry at it.

I have searched and searched to no avail and i was wondering if anyone could help me find the name of this song.

Many thanks,
James
