歌曲歌詞
They should have known
That trouble was brewing
They should have seen
What the old men knew
They should have shut us down
When the hail fell to the ground
From a cloudy sky of baby blue
Three o'clock on a cold cold morning
The big bell wailed as if on cue
A woman's scream was heard
And the news came afterwards
It's a blow out down in number two
Down in Jericho Kentucky
The mines have all caved in
Down in Jericho
Broken hearts don't mend
Tear stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been
The hat lamps burned
With a flame like lightning
The coal dust blanketed the morning dew
The young ones looked for kin
And the blind man he looks grim
'Cause he sees there's nothing
That he can do
They pumped up the mud
And they chunked out water
They scratched the earth till it
Turned to sand
And a half mile down below
It's a lost cause the miners know
Meet your maker boys the time's at hand
Down in Jericho Kentucky
The mines have all caved in
Down in Jericho
Broken hearts don't mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been
The fire boss's hands are clean as a whistle
The fat cat knows he's a company man
But he should have bowed down his head
When they hauled out all the dead
But it's business boys start 'em up again
Down in Jericho Kentucky
The mines have all caved in
Down in Jericho
Broken hearts don't mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been
Broken hearts don't mend
Tears stained eyes of kin
Never ever seen
What their future might have been
