Springhill Mining Disaster - The Dubliners[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 and the miners lie[00:00:26]

In roads that never saw sun nor sky[00:00:34]

Roads that never saw sun nor 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 fifty-eight[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 passed 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[00:02:21]

We'll live on songs and hope instead"[00:02:28]

Listen for the shouts of the black faced miners[00:02:38]

Listen through the rubble for a rescue teams[00:02:44]

Three hundred tons of coal and slag[00:02:51]

Hope imprisoned in the three foot seam[00:02:58]

Hope imprisoned in the three foot seam[00:03:04]

Twelve days past and some were rescued[00:03:14]

Leaving the dead to lie alone[00:03:20]

Through all their days they dug a grave[00:03:27]

Two miles of earth is a marking stone[00:03:34]

Two miles of earth is a marking stone[00:03:40]
