Proper men

In 1986 while living in Vancouver BC Canada, I visited the Folkfest section of the Expo 86. There was this shy woman on a stage singing to an almost empty hall. The media was there filming her singing "Working Man".. The song touched a nerve with Canadians as the next day I went back to the same hall but could not get near the door. The lineup to get in was to long and the crowd was singing with her. Some with a defiant fist in the air. Considering what a horrible disasters that had happed in Springhill NS, it was understandable that Rita McNeil had put her heart into the song which the audience recognized. ' t

Powerful song Reminder of the suffering our grandparents went through back in the days so sad bless them all

I was on't Coal Face for 10 years, mi mates were mi mates.

This is the blues….

Great song.

I am 80 years old veteran I remember the days off thatcher She staved and bet hard working men in to the ground she turned the police into Con men now look at the mess off the country Tory's again I stated work at the age off 15.i am still working part time at 80 worked for 65 years thank you for your time God bless our miner's

Backin the '80s I was working as a journalist in western Canada when I was asked to review a show by Rita McNeal. I knew her music but had a cynical side to deal with, yet when Rita opted to do her Working Man it took me about three minutes to have tears rolling down my face. I was never so humbled, yet so appeciative of Rita's vocal range and of course whenever I hear the song today my eyes mist over. Until you here Rita's version you haven't felt the depth of that song as it ought to be sung.

Thank you for the posting and expression of the feelings from the experiences of the men who suffered so badly . Your words are reinforced by the facial expressions of the men who were photographed in that setting......this sorry and tragedy was repeated many times in eastern Canada in the mines over the successive years. I hope that yunger people would watch and ;isten to this U tube and refelct upon it .

Absolutely respect miners

I fucking hate the decision to close the pits. But I'm glad there won't be any more mining disasters.

Proper men.

Don't know how you ever went down a mine.Total respect.

This song is beautiful ❤️ Reminds me of my Grandfather.

Well done to you ❤

1:51 - the man on the right is my great uncle Vernon. He still lives in the village in the background. Respect to every person who ever had to go down the mines - we have no idea how fortunate we are nowadays

The back bone off the country till thatcher turned the police against them and starved the families to there knees and then the 96 Liverpool fans This woman order fencing to be put up in all grounds that's what killed the 96.the Tory's are a disgrace to the British people

They now call the working class people on benefits that do not work, crazy world we live.

This country was a factory and its people treated as tools to make the rich richer. Lied to constantly regarding everything and even used religion to push us to the depths and kill our selves to line there pockets if youu in didn’t tie the line or speak out it was the esiylum. Bad days. So much respect for any man from thoughs days and all been covered up as normal. ❤️👍

I was a ash tray miner the smoking ban put me right out of business

😢😢😢😢😢

best days of my life wish i was still there

some guy was singing this in the motherload mine in osrs

Such a beautiful and moving song, god bless all miners past and present ❤❤

I mined Asbestos Coal and Gold . I'm 61 years old now. If I went back I wouldn't change a single thing .

This hits me hard :( It makes me cry every time I listen to it, my whole family & friends were miners, me included, god how I miss being a miner and think of my late dad every single day, our memories should be compiled into a massive book which will most likely never be completed, bless you brave men who worked at the Pits, lets not forget the Canteen women & cleaners, they all did their bit. RIP my friends who have left us. 💔Shirebrook Colliery 1896 until 1993 💔

Sometimes I really feel that human nature is regardless of culture and race.My grandparents and fathers were both coal miners.Today, I suddenly remembered to search whether there is a song of coal miners in the United States.Sure enough, I found it.Between the lines of the lyrics are mixed with the hardships of coal miners.May people who pursue a better life in the world live a long and healthy life.❤

Growing up in a mining village in featherstone South staffs we had a great childhood playing on the pit bonks, using the belting of the pit to turn it up at the front tying string to it and turning it into a bobsleigh to come down the pit bonks, Thatcher and her scum ruined villages and communities

Well d0ne

respect for everyone who worked in the mines without them we would never had a warm fire to heat us ❤❤

What a great song 😅

I was crushed Aug. 24th 1979 but was lucky . 4 of my crew were killed & i am only crippled . RIP Guz, Bill, Kerry & Tim . You'll never be forgotten & will live forever at the miners memorial at Price Utah . RIP my friends. Alan. 😢

This song is for all who have worked UG

It is a beautiful melody

Total Respect For All Miners, I feel privileged to have worked with many

This song makes me cry I saw it on TOPTP the other night … and I searched to come here 🫶💔 Extremely brave men 💔

I’m down in the pit now working in underground coal. Great brotherhood we have

My father was an electrician in the pits all his life

My old family were all coal miners in Derbyshire. My great grandad was smarter than the rest and made it into the office - they thought he was a god even though he got half pay of the miners

LOVE THIS SONG, IT REMINDS ME OF THE TWO YEARS I SPENT IN HARD ROCK MINING FOR URANIUM.

My GRANDAD worked in the mines and died of black lung at an early age. This song gives me goosebumps. Thank you.😢

All us coal miners in the UK were shafted by that Bitch Margaret Thatcher

My grandad song not here with us and he move from south wales to coventry went coal mine close and he and my heart never forget wales because i am very happy i am welsh man

Bit of an oxymoron a working miner.

thatcher killed more men more communitys than any pit did. and now we need coal but the experianced miners have gone just like our for fathers who taught us how to work down the mines

i did ten years under ground from 1982 till1992 and it made me a man a team mate to all under ground cos you would never see any man strugle under ground or anywhere in the pit community you helpd everyone and they helped you

I,went,down,pit,till,mage, closed down it,was, good job, me shafer ok 4:09 4:13

My dad was a coal mining andy Uncle and Grandpa it runs in my family

Thanks to all the miners who gave their lives for this country
