Songtext von Coal Creek Mine

Shut up in the mine of Coal Creek We know that we must die But if we trust in Jesus To heaven our souls shall fly Our lamps are burning dimly Our food is almost gone Death wraps his shirt around us Soon we'll be carried home Goodbye dear wife and children May you be treated kind For now our time has come to die Locked up in the Coal Creek Mine Eleven of us were imprisoned And two dear ones have died Nine more are left to suffer And die in the Coal Creek Mine Dear friends, you should take a warning And listen to what we say You're now in the world of sunlight And there you'd better stay.
