U2 Springhill Mining Disaster Lyrics

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the c__berland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky. (x2)

In the town of Springhill, you don't sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roar
When the earth is restless, miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal. (x2)

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Late in the year of eighty-eight
Day still comes and the sun still shines
(But it's) Dark as the grave in the c__berland mine. (x2)

Listen to the shouts of the black-faced miners
Listen thru the car of a rescue team
We have no water, or no bread
(So we'll) Live on songs and hope instead. (x2)

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the c__berland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky. (x2)

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Often the earth will tremble and roar
When the earth is restless, miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal. (x2)
