《Springhill Mining Disaster》歌词

[00:00:00] Springhill Mining Disaster - Luke Kelly

[00:00:12] In the town of springhill nova scotia

[00:00:19] Down in the dark of the cumberland mine

[00:00:26] There's blood on the coal

[00:00:29] And the miners lie

[00:00:34] In roads that never saw sun or sky

[00:00:40] Roads that never saw sun or sky

[00:00:50] In the town of springhill you don't sleep easy

[00:00:56] Often the earth will tremble and roll

[00:01:03] When the earth is restless miners die

[00:01:11] Bone and blood is the price of coal

[00:01:16] Bone and blood is the price of coal

[00:01:26] In the town of springhill nova scotia

[00:01:32] Late in the year of '58

[00:01:39] The day still comes and the sun still shines

[00:01:46] But it's dark as the grave in the cumberland mine

[00:01:52] Dark as the grave in the cumberland mine

[00:02:02] Three days past when the lamps gave out

[00:02:07] And kaela brushton got up and said

[00:02:15] We've no more water or light or bread

[00:02:22] So we'll live on songs and hope instead

[00:02:28] Live on songs and hope instead

[00:02:39] Listen for the shouts of the black face miners

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

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

[00:02:59] Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam

[00:03:05] Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam

[00:03:15] Twelve days past and some were rescued

[00:03:21] Leaving the dead to lie alone

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

[00:03:35] Two miles of earth is a marking stone

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