In the town of Springhill Nova ScotiaDown in the dark of the Cumberland mineThere's blood on the coal, and the miners lieIn roads that never saw sun or skyRoads that never saw sun or sky.In the town of SpringhillThey don't sleep easyOften the earth will tremble and rollWhen the earth is restlessMiners dieBone and blood is the price of coalBone and blood is the price of coalListen to the shouts of the black faced minerListen to the call of the rescue teamWe have no water, light or breadSo we're living on songs and hope insteadLiving on songs and hope insteadIn the town of Springhill Nova ScotiaDown in the dark of the Cumberland mineThere's blood on the coal, and the miners lieIn roads that never saw sun or skyRoads that never saw sun nor skyIn the town of SpringhillDon't sleep easyOften the earth will tremble and rollWhen the earth is restlessMiners dieBone and blood is the price of coalBone and blood is the price of coalBone and blood is the price of coal
