Going through the album Live - Back from the Dead by Cleveland country artist Roger Martin, I found a medley of Just Because and "Coal Miner's Polka". However, I can't find much info on the second song. ISWC returns one song with that title, written by someone named Bernie Witkowski (aka Bernie Wyte). Searching YouTube, I found one other recording by someone named Gene Mitchko from 1972. Given the lyrics I'm assuming the song is about Pennsylvania-based polka group Stanky and the Coal Miners but I can't find any recording of that song by them either (just a similarly-titled song called "Coal Miners Czardas", which isn't the same tune).
I know polka is somewhat of a niche genre in the US, but any assistance here would be helpful.
