about

Arrangé par Daniel Heikalo, avec refrain ajouté, pour guitare acoustique en DADGAD avec tablas.

Arranged by Daniel Heikalo, with added chorus, for acoustic guitar tuned to DADGAD and tablas

From Wikipedia: Blackleg Miner is a 19th-century English folk song, originally from Northumberland (as can be deduced from the dialect in the song and the references in it to the villages of Seghill and Seaton Delaval).

It is not entirely clear how old the song is, although it is thought to have been written either in the late 19th or early 20th century. Richard Thompson, who released a version of it in 2006, dates it as early as the first half of the 19th century. However, if this was true, it must have been translated into more modern English, as the lyrics would not have been part of the language of 19th-century Northumberland.
