SPRINGHILL MINING DISASTER
U2
In
the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down
in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There's
blood on the coal and the miners lie
In
roads that never saw sun nor sky,
Roads
that never saw sun nor sky
In
the town of Springhill, don't sleep easy
Often
the earth will tremble and roar
But
when the earth is restless miners die
Bone
and blood is the price of coal,
Bone
and blood is the price of coal
Listen
to the shouts of the black faced miners
Listen
to the call of the rescue team
We
have no water, light or bread
So
we're livin' on songs and hope instead,
Livin'
on songs and hope instead
In
the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down
in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There's
blood on the coal and the miners lie
In
roads that never saw sun nor sky,
Roads
that never saw sun nor sky
In
the town of Springhill, don't sleep easy
Often
the earth will tremble and roar
But
when the earth is restless miners die
Bone
and blood is the price of coal,
Bone
and blood is the price of coal,
Bone and blood is the price of coal
