In the town of Spring Hill, Nova Scotia
Down in the heart of the Cumberland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the 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 workin'
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
12 lay two miles from the pit shaft
Listening for the drillin' 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 markin' stone
Two miles of Earth for a markin' 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
Down in the heart of the Cumberland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the 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 workin'
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
12 lay two miles from the pit shaft
Listening for the drillin' 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 markin' stone
Two miles of Earth for a markin' 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
