Springhill Mine Disaster文本歌词
作词 : MacColl, Seeger
作曲 : MAC-COLL EWAN/Seeger PeggyIn the town of Springhill Nova ScotiaDeep in the heart of the Cumberland MineThere's blood on the coal and the miners lieIn roads that never saw sun nor skyRoads that never saw sun nor skyIn the town of Springhill you don't sleep easyOften the earth would tremble and rollWhen the earth is restless miners dieBone and blood is the price of coalBone and blood is the price of coalIn the town of Springhill Nova ScotiaLate in the year of 58The day still comes and the sun still shinesBut it's dark as the grave in the Cumberland MineDark as the grave in the Cumberland MineDown at the coal face miners workingRattle of the belts and the cutter bladesThen a rumble of rock and the walls close roundLiving and the dead men two miles downLiving 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 miner's tombIt was three foot wide by a hundred longThree foot wide by a hundred longThree days passed and the lights gave outWhen the leading man got up and saidThere's no more water nor light nor breadSo we'll live on songs of hope insteadLive on songs of hope insteadListen for the shouts of the bareface minersListen through the rubble for the rescue teamSix hundred feet of coal and slagHope imprisoned in a three-foot seamHope imprisoned in a three-foot seamEight days passed and some were rescuedLeaving the rest to die aloneThrough all their lives they dug a graveTwo miles of earth for a marking stoneTwo miles of earth for a marking stone
