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
