'Twas the most unusual Christmas Eve in the town of Sydney Mines
'Twas cold and wet, I'll never forget December of '29
The boys were working the final shift and ready to leave the mine
We hadn't seen a ray of sun in over a week of time
There were 21 of us on the lift and headed toward the top
When the bloody cage refused to raise and came to a grinding stop
We took to cursing and even worse as the boys began to grieve
Would we all survive or be alive on this fateful Christmas Eve?
And back at home, our thoughts did roam to kids and pumpkin pie
To the fireplace, the warm embrace of neighbours dropping by
So we joined in song and sang along, we wished each other well
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
So Johnny Boy took out the whistle, he kept it in his sack
And Billy had a concertina strapped upon his back
And all the fear would disappear as everyone sang along
We found our Christmas spirit and we raise it up in song
But back at home, our thoughts did roam to kids and pumpkin pie
To the fireplace, the warm embrace of neighbours dropping by
So we joined in song and sang along, we wished each other well
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
A thermos full of spicy punch was mixed with Navy rum
We had an extra hard hat and we banged it like a drum
And in that frigid and dreary cage, we found a meaning clear
Where 20 men would join as friends and find the Christmas cheer
So back at home, our thoughts did roam to kids and pumpkin pie
To the fireplace, the warm embrace of neighbours dropping by
So we joined in song and sang along, we wished each other well
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
By half 11, the cage was free, we rose from down below
We said a prayer and breathed the air, we walked home in the snow
And each December, we all remember the story now we tell
How we turned a near disaster to the Miners' First Noel
So back at home, our thoughts will roam to kids and pumpkin pie
To the fireplace, the warm embrace of neighbours dropping by
So we join in song and sing along, we wish each other well
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
So back at home, our thoughts will roam to kids and pumpkin pie
To the fireplace, the warm embrace of neighbours dropping by
So we join in song and sing along, we wish each other well
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
For on that Christmas Eve was born the Miners' First Noel
'Twas cold and wet, I'll never forget December of '29
The boys were working the final shift and ready to leave the mine
