lirik lagu ewan maccoll and peggy seeger - ballad of springhill

[verse 1]
in the town of spring hill, nova scotia
down in the dark of a cumberland mine
there’s blood on the coal, and the miners lie
in the roads that never saw sun nor sky
roads that never saw sun nor sky

[verse 2]
in the town of spring hill you don’t sleep easy
often the earth will tremble and groan
when the earth is restless, miners die
bone and blood is the price of coal
bone and blood is the price of coal

[verse 3]
in the town of spring hill, nova scotia
late in the year of ’58
day still comes, and the sun still shines
but it’s dark as the grave in the cumberland mine
dark as the grave in the cumberland mine

[verse 4]
down at the coalface miners workin’
rattle of the belts and the cutter’s blade
rumble of rock and the walls close ’round
the living and the dead men two miles down
living and the dead men two miles down
[verse 5]
twelve men lay two miles from the pit shaft
twelve men lay in the dark and sang
long, hot days in a miner’s tomb
it was three feet high and a hundred long
three feet high and a hundred long

[verse 6]
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”

[verse 7]
listen for the shouts of the bare~faced miners
listen through the rubble for the rescue team
six hundred feet of coal and slag
hope imprisoned in a three~foot seam
hope imprisoned in a three~foot seam

[verse 8]
eight days passed, and some were rescued
leavin’ the dead to lie alone
through all their lives they dug a grave
two miles of earth for a markin’ stone
two miles of earth for a markin’ stone
