Kate Wolf Springfield Mountain Coal Mine Lyrics

MY BROTHER WAS A SPRINGFIELD MOUNTAIN COAL MINER
HE HAD THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND A DARLING WIFE
BUT LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A RUMBLE ON THE MOUNTAIN
SHAFT NUMBER THREE CAME DOWN AND TOOK HIS LIFE
SHAFT NUMBER THREE CAME DOWN AND TOOK HIS LIFE
THIRTY MINERS DIED DOWN IN THAT CAVE-IN
THIRTEEN TIMES WE'VE BROUGHT THE WAGONS DOWN
THERE'S TWENTY GRAVES
WE'LL BE DIGGING IN THE CHURCHYARD
TEN MORE IN THE MOUNTAINS UNDERGROUND
TEN MORE IN THE MOUNTAINS UNDERGROUND
LAY DOWN DEAR BROTHER.
DADDY'S GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
MAMMA'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU TO TAKE YOU HOME
WHERE THE COLD WIND BLOWS.
AND MY SISTER WAS A COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER
MY DADDY WAS A COAL MINER'S SON
MY FAMILY'S LIVED AND DIED ON THIS MOUNTAIN
DOWN IN THE GROUND WHERE THE SUN DON'T EVER COME
DOWN IN THE GROUND WHERE THE SUN DON'T EVER COME
ONE MORE YEAR I'LL BE READY FOR THE COAL MINE
ONE MORE YEAR AND I'LL BE GOING DOWN
BUT EVERY NIGHT WHEN I PASS BY THAT MOUNTAIN
I CRY TO SEE MY BROTHER UNDERGROUND
I CRY TO SEE MY BROTHER UNDERGROUND
LAY DOWN DEAR BROTHER.
DADDY'S GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
MAMMA'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU TO TAKE YOU HOME
WHERE THE COLD WIND BLOWS.
