Текст песни
In the town of Spring Hill, Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners
Lie in the roast that never saw a sun nor a sky
In the town of Spring Hill you don't sleep easy
Often the earth will tumble and roll
When the earth is restless miners die
Blood and bone is the price of coal
Blood and bone is the price of coal
Down at the coal face miners working
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
One more rock and the walls cloth round
The leaving and the dead men two miles down
Living and the dead men two miles down
Twelve men lay two miles from the pit shaft
Twelve men lay in the dark and sane
Long hot days in the miners tomb
It was three feet high and one hundred long
Three feet high and one hundred long
Three days passed and the lamps gave out
And Caleb Rushton he up and said
There's no more water nor light nor bread
So we'll live on songs and hope instead
Live on songs and hope instead
Eight days passed and some were rescued
Leaving the dead to lie alone
Through all their lives they had dug a grave
Two miles of earth for a marking stone
Two miles of earth for a marking stone.
