Weepin' an' Wailin' by Ted Edwards.

It starts:-

I'm going now Mary I'm off down to pits
in an hour I'll be at the coal
I'll be makin' good brass for our Jenny and thee
does't remember when I was on dole
so gi'us me tin, put a smile on thee face
I'll be back before ending of day
but don't let it show love, let nobody see
as tha's weepin' an' wailing' away

Weepin' an' wailin' away
weepin' an' wailin' away
the men at the coal and the women at homw
and they're weepin'an wailin' away
