Lyrics
Buried Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nothing they could do but sit down there with the black coal all around them, and the water rose so quick and cold, an unlikely place to drown
Nine in the mine, trapped down below- down, down, down in the ground
And this'll be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye, take care of my
Family I'm buried alive
They held their heads up high as they struggled hard to breath
And asked the lord to open his arms for the nine souls he'd receive
Nine in the mine...
They latched themselves together so in death they might be found
And prayed there for miracle some 24 stories down
Nine in the mine...
