“Blackleg Miner” is late nineteenth or early twentieth century union protest song the band first recorded for ‘’Hark! The Village Wait’’ (1970).
On Back in Line they offered a new live version of "Blackleg Miner", and they offered a third variation on Present--The Very Best of Steeleye Span.

Although Steeleye didn't get around to recording "Lyke-Wake Dirge" until 2002, this medieval song about Purgatory was the introduction of their first American tour, while "Lanercost" from Back in Line uses the Kyrie Eleison as its chorus.
She was also the subject of a song Isabel by Steeleye Span (recorded on their album Back in Line) which claims without foundation that she was Bruce's lover (and also gets some chronology confused).
Although the new version is closer to the version on Back in Line than the original on Hark! The Village Wait, it is distinct from both earlier versions, with Kemp's slap bass and a strong violin line.
