Springhill Mining Disaster - Luke Kelly[00:00:00]
In the town of springhill nova scotia[00:00:12]
Down in the dark of the cumberland mine[00:00:19]
There's blood on the coal[00:00:26]
And the miners lie[00:00:29]
In roads that never saw sun or sky[00:00:34]
Roads that never saw sun or sky[00:00:40]
In the town of springhill you don't sleep easy[00:00:50]
Often the earth will tremble and roll[00:00:56]
When the earth is restless miners die[00:01:03]
Bone and blood is the price of coal[00:01:11]
Bone and blood is the price of coal[00:01:16]
In the town of springhill nova scotia[00:01:26]
Late in the year of '58[00:01:32]
The day still comes and the sun still shines[00:01:39]
But it's dark as the grave in the cumberland mine[00:01:46]
Dark as the grave in the cumberland mine[00:01:52]
Three days past when the lamps gave out[00:02:02]
And kaela brushton got up and said[00:02:07]
We've no more water or light or bread[00:02:15]
So we'll live on songs and hope instead[00:02:22]
Live on songs and hope instead[00:02:28]
Listen for the shouts of the black face miners[00:02:39]
Listen through the rubble for the rescue teams[00:02:44]
Three hundred tonnes of coal and slag[00:02:51]
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam[00:02:59]
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam[00:03:05]
Twelve days past and some were rescued[00:03:15]
Leaving the dead to lie alone[00:03:21]
Through all their live they dug a grave[00:03:27]
Two miles of earth is a marking stone[00:03:35]
Two miles of earth is a marking stone[00:03:40]
