I think thiis is the song I heard about 40 years ago. Can anyone confirm if the lyrics are those of a wife singing to her dying husband. Being the son of a miner I found it a very emotional song, but I've never heard it since. If someone can confirm this is probably the song on the Billy Frane CD I will buy it. Cheers
