Springhill Mine Disaster

演唱者:Martin Carthy

专辑:Martin Carthy

    作词 : MacColl, Seeger

    作曲 : MAC-COLL EWAN/Seeger Peggy

    In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia

    Deep in the heart 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 you don't sleep easy

    Often the earth would tremble and roll

    When the earth is restless miners die

    Bone and blood is the price of coal

    Bone and blood is the price of coal

    In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia

    Late in the year of 58

    The day still comes and the sun still shines

    But it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland Mine

    Dark as the grave in the Cumberland Mine

    Down at the coal face miners working

    Rattle of the belts and the cutter blades

    Then a rumble of rock and the walls close round

    Living and the dead men two miles down

    Living and the dead men two miles down

    Twelve men lay two miles from the pitshaft

    Twelve men lay in the dark and sang

    Long hot days in the miner's tomb

    It was three foot wide by a hundred long

    Three foot wide by a hundred long

    Three days passed and the lights gave out

    When the leading man got up and said

    There's no more water nor light nor bread

    So we'll live on songs of hope instead

    Live on songs of hope instead

    Listen for the shouts of the bareface miners

    Listen through the rubble for the rescue team

    Six hundred feet of coal and slag

    Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam

    Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam

    Eight days passed and some were rescued

    Leaving the rest to die alone

    Through all their lives they dug a grave

    Two miles of earth for a marking stone

    Two miles of earth for a marking stone
