In the town of springhill nova scotia

Down in the dark of the cumberland mine

Theres blood on the coal, and the miners lie

In roads that never saw sun or sky

Roads--





Bono: "shut up for a second, will you? stop whistling cause Im not in the beatles, okay? its u2 here."



In the town of springhill

They dont sleep easy

Often the earth will tremble and roll

When the earth is restless

Miners die





Bone and blood is the price of coal

Bone and blood is the price of coal





Listen to the shouts of the black faced miner

Listen to the call of the rescue team

We have no water, light or bread

So were living on songs and hope instead

Living on songs and hope instead





In the town of springhill nova scotia

Down in the dark of the cumberland mine

Theres blood on the coal, and the miners lie

In roads that never saw sun or sky

Roads that never saw sun nor sky





In the town of springhill

Dont sleep easy

Often the earth will tremble and roll

When the earth is restless

Miners die





Bone and blood is the price of coal

Bone and blood is the price of coal

Bone and blood is the price of coal





Bono: "thanks for your patience. thank you."
