Gresford Disaster - The Albion Band[00:00:00]

You've heard of the gresford disaster[00:00:23]

Of the terrible price that was paid[00:00:30]

Two hundred and fourty-two colliers were lost[00:00:35]

And three men of the rescue brigade[00:00:41]

It occurred in the month of September[00:00:47]

At three in the morning the pit[00:00:54]

It was racked by a violent explosion[00:00:59]

In the Dennis where gas lay so thick[00:01:06]

Now the gas in the Dennis deep section[00:01:30]

Was packed there like snow in a drift[00:01:36]

And many a man had to leave the coal-face[00:01:42]

Before he had worked out his shift[00:01:48]

And a fortnight before the explosion[00:01:53]

To the shot firer tomlinson cried[00:02:00]

If you fire that shot we'll be all blown to hell[00:02:05]

And no body can say that he lied[00:02:11]

And the lord mayor of London's collecting[00:05:52]

To help out the children and wives[00:05:58]

The owners have sent some lilies[00:06:03]

To pay for the poor colliers' lives[00:06:10]

Down there in the dark they are lying[00:06:23]

They died for nine shillings the day[00:06:29]

And they worked out their shift and now they must lie[00:06:34]

In the darkness until judgment day[00:06:40]

Farewell all our dear wives and our comrades[00:07:52]

Farewell all our children as well[00:07:59]

And don't send your sons down the dark dreary mine[00:08:05]

They'll be doomed like the sinners in hell[00:08:12]
