Ballad Of Spring Hill (Spring Hil) - Peter,Paul & Mary
In the town of Spring Hill,
Nova Scotia
Down in the heart
Of the Cumberland Mine
There's blood on the coal
And miners lie
In the roads
That never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun
Or sky
Down at the coal face
The miner's working
Rattle of the belt
And the cutter's blade
Crumble of rock
And the walls close round
Living and the dead men,
Two miles down
Living and the dead men,
Two miles down
Twelve men lay two miles
From the pitshaft
Listen for the drilling of a rescue team
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
Eight days passed
And some were rescued
Leaving the dead to lie alone
All their lives they dug their graves
Two miles of earth for a marking stone
Two miles of earth for a marking stone
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
