Springhill Mine Disaster - Peggy Seeger/Ewan MacColl
[00:21.171]In the town of...
[00:21.171]In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
[00:26.194]Down in the dark of the Cumberland Mine
[00:31.020]there's blood on the coal and the miners lie
[00:35.731]In the roads that never saw sun nor sky (2x)
[00:46.010]
[00:48.097]In the town of Springhill, you don't sleep easy
[00:53.046]Often the earth will tremble and roll
[00:57.480]When the earth is restless, miners die
[01:02.358]Bone and blood is the price of coal
[01:12.044]
[01:14.816]In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
[01:19.386]Late in the year of fifty-eight
[01:23.901]Day still comes and the sun still shines
[01:28.403]But it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland mine
[01:37.910]
[01:41.455]Down at the coal face, miners working
[01:45.747]Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
[01:50.345]Rumble of the rock and the walls closed round
[01:54.934]The living and the dead men two miles down
[02:04.222]
[02:07.572]Twelve men lay two miles from the pitshaft
[02:12.132]Twelve men lay in the dark and sang
[02:16.586]Long hot days in the miners tomb
[02:20.886]It was three feet high and a hundred long
[02:31.316]
[02:33.935]Three days past and the lamps gave out
[02:38.085]Caleb Rushton he up and said,
[02:42.349]There's no more water nor light nor bread
[02:46.580]So we'll live on song and hope instead
[02:56.081]
[02:59.349]Listen for the shouts of the barefaced miners
[03:03.754]Listen thru the rubble for a rescue team
[03:07.733]Six hundred feet of coal and slag
[03:12.562]Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam
[03:21.499]
[03:22.976]Eight days passes and some were rescued
[03:27.094]Leaving the dead to lie alone
[03:31.397]Thru all their lives they dug their grave
[03:35.708]Two miles of earth for a marking stone
[03:44.824]
