Coal Mine
Chorus: Coal mine, coal mine, coal mine I cry I've seen the darkest days by the miner's light Say a prayer for me when I'm down in the seam Down in a cold coal mine
At Westray and Hillcrest you see the crosses stand Each one to mark a grave there beneath the sand And the heartache and sorrow ain't no one can tell For a sweetheart who's left there without a farewell
Chorus
Shanty shacks in a shanty town all in a line They boarded 'em up when they closed down the mine They laid off the miners' who laid their lives down Left a scar on the land and a hole in the ground

Instrumental
Bridge: Black damp and fire damp down in the coal And the danger that waits there every miner knows For a spark or a flame might come just as fast As the last breath of death in the methane gas
Chorus
There's a faded photograph still hangin' on the wall In a dark corridor down at the union hall And the look in his eyes there is always the same Fifty years a coal miner there by his name
Chorus
