How about this one - one of my favorites and I sing it often

THE NORTH COUNTRY MINER'S WIFE.
Bob Davenport.

One day while in the North Country
A lassie there I spied
All dressed in deep mourning
So bitterly she cried
She lost her man killed down the pit
Crushed by a fall of stone
So short a time she lay with him
So long she'll lie alone.

Now they were 17 years old
When their married life began
And at the age of 19 years
She bore to him a son
A few more months she had
To be for him a wife
So short a time together
Before he lost his life.

Long as she lives she'll never forget
That cruel winter's day
Long as she'll live she'll curse the pit
That took her man away
The owners think one day her bairn
Will take its father's place
But she'd sooner see him go to jail
Than go hewing at the face.
