The Caves of Jericho - The Band[00:00:00]

They should have known[00:00:15]

That trouble was brewing[00:00:17]

They should have seen[00:00:23]

What the old men knew[00:00:25]

They should have shut us down[00:00:31]

When the hail fell to the ground[00:00:34]

From a cloudy sky of baby blue[00:00:38]

Three o'clock on a cold cold morning[00:00:48]

The big bell wailed as if on cue[00:00:55]

A woman's scream was heard[00:01:02]

And the news came afterwards[00:01:05]

It's a blow out down in number two[00:01:09]

Down in Jericho Kentucky[00:01:17]

The mines have all caved in[00:01:22]

Down in Jericho[00:01:26]

Broken hearts don't mend[00:01:31]

Tear stained eyes of kin[00:01:36]

Never ever seen[00:01:40]

What their future might have been[00:01:43]

The hat lamps burned[00:01:50]

With a flame like lightning[00:01:51]

The coal dust blanketed the morning dew[00:01:57]

The young ones looked for kin[00:02:05]

And the blind man he looks grim[00:02:08]

'Cause he sees there's nothing[00:02:13]

That he can do[00:02:16]

They pumped up the mud[00:02:21]

And they chunked out water[00:02:23]

They scratched the earth till it[00:02:29]

Turned to sand[00:02:32]

And a half mile down below[00:02:36]

It's a lost cause the miners know[00:02:40]

Meet your maker boys the time's at hand[00:02:44]

Down in Jericho Kentucky[00:02:51]

The mines have all caved in[00:02:55]

Down in Jericho[00:03:00]

Broken hearts don't mend[00:03:07]

Tears stained eyes of kin[00:03:11]

Never ever seen[00:03:15]

What their future might have been[00:03:18]

The fire boss's hands are clean as a whistle[00:03:56]

The fat cat knows he's a company man[00:04:04]

But he should have bowed down his head[00:04:11]

When they hauled out all the dead[00:04:15]

But it's business boys start 'em up again[00:04:19]

Down in Jericho Kentucky[00:04:26]

The mines have all caved in[00:04:30]

Down in Jericho[00:04:35]

Broken hearts don't mend[00:04:41]

Tears stained eyes of kin[00:04:45]

Never ever seen[00:04:49]

What their future might have been[00:04:52]

Broken hearts don't mend[00:04:57]

Tears stained eyes of kin[00:05:01]

Never ever seen[00:05:05]

What their future might have been[00:05:08]
