Coalminers

there's a coalmine just out of town
at the bottom
past the second left cut 
thirteen 
was found
one was alive
but twelve had passed
so we ask of our lord
for there soles to be blessed
and
let ther families know
we have them in mind
we wish them the best
all of the time
you know these men
lost there lives
doing a job
to help us survive
they went deep in the ground
for coal they dug in
for you and I
till the very end
