Thread Name: Lyr Req: Weepin' an' Wailin' Away (Ted Edwards)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: weeping and wailing mining song, please
Hope this is the one you want.........
Chorus goes Weepin' an' wailin' away
weepin' an' wailin' away
the men at the coal an' the women at home
an; they're weepin' an' wailin' away.
Written By Ted Edwards who also wrote Coal'ole Cavalry. Ted worked for a time as a miner, in a pit near Leigh in Lancashire, (I think, don't quote me on the location)and wrote numerous songs.
If this is the correct one I'll put in the rest of the words
