SPRINGHILL MINE DISASTER Dm C Dm CIn the town of Springhill, Nova ScotiaDm G DmDown in the dark of the Cumberland Mine G C Amthere`s blood on the coal and the miners lie Dm C Dm C AIn the roads that never saw sun nor sky (2x)In the town of Springhill, you don`t sleep easyOften the earth will tremble and rollWhen the earth is restless, miners dieBone and blood is the price of coalIn the town of Springhill, Nova ScotiaLate in the year of fifty-eightDay still comes and the sun still shinesBut it`s dark as the grave in the Cumberland mineDown at the coal face, miners workingRattle of the belt and the cutter`s bladeRumble of the rock and the walls closed roundThe living and the dead men two miles downTwelve men lay two miles from the pitshaftTwelve men lay in the dark and sangLong hot days in the miners tombIt was three feet high and a hundred longThree days past and the lamps gave outOur foreman rose on his elbow and saidWe`re out of light and water and breadSo we`ll live on song and hope insteadListen for the shouts of the barefaced minersListen thru the rubble for a rescue teamSix hundred feet of coal and slagHope imprisoned in a three foot seamEight days passes and some were rescuedLeaving the dead to lie aloneThru all their lives they dug their graveTwo miles of earth for a marking stoneIn the town of Springhill, you don`t sleep easyOften the earth will tremble and rollWhen the earth is restless, miners dieBone and blood is the price of coalCopyright Sing Outby Peggy Seeger, recorded by Ewan MacCollfilename[ SPRINGHIplay.exe SPRINGHISF===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
