The Dying Miner |
It happened an hour ago |
Way down in this tunnel of coal |
Gas caught fire from somebody’s lamp |
And the miners are choking in smoke |
Goodbye to Dickie and Honey |
Goodbye to the wife that I love |
Lot of these men not coming home |
Tonight when the work whistle blows |
Dear sisters and brothers, goodbye |
Dear mother and father, goodbye |
My fingers are weak and I cannot write |
Goodbye Centralia, goodbye |
It looks like the end for me |
And all of my buddies I see |
We’re all writing letters to children we love |
Please carry our word to our wives |
We, found a little place in the air |
Crawled and drug ourselves here |
But the smoke is bad and the fumes coming in |
And the gas is burning my eyes |
Dear sisters and brothers, goodbye |
Dear mother and father, goodbye |
My fingers are weak and I cannot write |
Goodbye Centralia, goodbye |
Forgive me for the things I done wrong |
I love you lots more than you know |
When the night whistle blows and I don’t come home |
Do all that you can to help mom |
I can hear the moans and groans |
More than a hundred good men |
Just work and fight and try to see |
That this never happens again |
Dear sisters and brothers, goodbye |
Dear mother and father, goodbye |
My fingers are weak and I cannot write |
Goodbye Centralia, goodbye |
My eyes are blinded with fumes |
But it sounds like the men are all gone |
'Cept Joe Valentini, Fred Gussler and George |
Trapped down in this hell hole of fire |
Please name our new baby Joe |
So he’ll grow up like big Joe |
He’ll work and he’ll fight and he’ll fix up the mines |
So fire can’t kill daddy no more |
Dear sisters and brothers, goodbye |
Dear mother and father, goodbye |
My fingers are weak and I cannot write |
Goodbye Centralia, goodbye |
