I wonder if it was specifically about coal miners, or if that was just the theme of the playlist. Because if it’s just the vibe, there’s some great songs there. First two that come to mind are Dire Straits’ “Telegraph Road” and Springsteen’s “The River”, but there’s a lot more like that.
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana

Definitely not about coal miners, but certainly a song about blue collar workers
I was just thinking about that song because I watched The Greatest Night in Pop, and they broke into singing Day-O at one point in the process. I was just thinking a call and response work song would have made for a much better solution for what they were trying to do, which was have a chorus, but also give soloists a chance to do a very quick solo.
If it even exists. The coal miner part was obviously added in after the fact and not part of the original tweet.
Indeed, the original read, “It was 9 hours of non-stop Star Wars cantina band.”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
That one’s the best by far.
But the banks are made of marble
With a guard at every door
And the vaults are filled with silver
That the miners sweated for
