Biografía:
The Rankin Family is a Canadian folk music family group from Mabou, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
The Rankins come from a family of 12, all of whom would entertain the neighbours musically every third weekend as part of a ceilidh.
Five of the siblings began performing professionally in 1989. The Rankins released their own independent cassettes The Rankin Family (1989) and Fare Thee Well Love (1990) featuring original songs and a combination of traditional jigs, reels and Celtic folk songs.

[Intro]
C F C F C G C G
[Verse]
C Am
I am a tramp miner, I've been for some time now
C Em Am
I live without light of the day
C Em F Am
In the black underground that's where I'll be found
C G F C G C F C G
Biding my time away, Oh working my life away
[Verse]
C Am
From here out to Timmins, I've loved all your women
C Em Am
In the taverns I drank down my pay
C Em F Am
But I'd do it again even though it's a sin
C G F
For it's better than driving the raise
C G C F C G
If you've done it you'd know what I say
[Chorus]
C
So I'll roll, roll with the wind
F C
Roll, roll with the wind
C Em Am F
Roll, roll with the time and the wind
C G C F C G
Then I'll find my way back home again
[Bridge]
Bb
Homesickness, heartbreak
C
And black lung among these men run rampant
Bb
As there rockin' and rollin'
G C F C G C F C G
High ballin' this country today
[Outro]
C Am
I've been a tramp miner, for such a long time now
C Em Am
I live without light of the day
C Em F Am
In a hole in the ground, they'll lower me down
C G F C F C F C G
That'll be my final pay, for working my life away
C F C F C G C G
