letra de the red jacket mine explosion - the phipps family

Loading...

[verse 1]
why did the camp seem so lonely?
and why were they feeling so strange?
it seems every person was restless
but why had there come such a change?

[verse 2]
that evening, the men lingered longer
but at last they did start for the mine
for they felt that their duty had summoned
and their duty required them on time

[verse 3]
it seemed every nerve was at tension
such an unusual silence around
thеn the silence was suddеnly broken
by a shock from in under the ground

[verse 4]
what could have brought such disturbance?
oh, what could have caused such a fright?
in terror, they cried, “an explosion”
what a scene on that sad friday night

[verse 5]
the machine had rolled down the mountain
there were screams and cries filled the air
in this terror all filled with excitement
everyone seemed to whisper a prayer
[verse 6]
all the camp people rushed to the mountain
to inquire for their loved ones and friends
oh, how sad, for the smoke was a-rollin’
and the mines was a-burnin’ within

[verse 7]
forty-five miners k!lled in a moment
many burned in their beauty and prime
may we all be at peace with our maker
we may answer our call anytime

[verse 8]
red jacket’s camp’s famous beauty
how looks not the same as before
you can see now that something is missing
that can never return anymore
