Did you see him going it was early this morning[00:00:00]

He passed all your houses on his way to the coal[00:00:06]

He was tall he was slender and his dark eyes so tender[00:00:12]

His occupation was mining west virginia his home[00:00:19]

It was just before twelve i was feeding the children[00:00:28]

Ben moseley came running to bring us the news[00:00:34]

Number eight is all flooded many men are in danger[00:00:40]

And we don't know their number but we fear they're all doomed[00:00:47]

So i picked up the baby and i left all the others[00:00:56]

To comfort each other and to pray for their own[00:01:01]

There's tommy fourteen and there's john not much younger[00:01:07]

Their own time soon will be coming to go down the black hole[00:01:14]

Now if i had the money to do more than just feed them[00:01:21]

I'd give them good learning the best could be found[00:01:28]

So when they grew up they'd be checkers and weighers[00:01:34]

And not spend their life drilling in the dark underground[00:01:41]

Now what can i say to his poor little children[00:01:49]

And what can i tell his old mother at home[00:01:55]

And what can i say to my heart that's clear broken[00:02:01]

To my heart that's clear broken if my darling is gone[00:02:07]

Say did you see him going it was early this morning[00:02:16]

He passed all your houses on his way to the coal[00:02:22]

He was tall he was slender and his dark eyes so tender[00:02:28]

His occupation was mining west virginia his home[00:02:35]
