Вступление
[Verse 1]
Way down in the coal mine,
Way down where the sun don't shine.
Seventy eight men lost their lives,
Way down in the cold mine.
[Refrain]
Brothers and Dads went down,
Uncles and cousins too,
Never again to see the sunshine
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Daddy went down to work that day,
He never came home to mama that night.
The blast was heard for miles around,
Some folks say even to Morgantown.
[Refrain]
Brothers and Dads went down,
Uncles and cousins too,
Never again to see the sunshine
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Mothers, daughters, weeped and moaned
Fathers, brothers, they cried alone.
Never again to see their loved ones,
From way down in the coal mine.
[Refrain]
Brothers and Dads went down,
Uncles and cousins too,
Never again to see the sunshine
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Way down in the coal mine,
Way down where the sun don't shine.
Seventy eight men lost their lives,
Way down in Number 9 coal mine.
[Refrain]
Brothers and Dads went down,
Uncles and cousins too,
Never again to see the sunshine
Their fates were sealed
Never again to yield
From that tomb that was the coal mine.
[Post-Chorus]
[Outro]
