[00:04.514]	We read in the paper and the radio tells
[00:10.999]	Us to raise our children to be miners as well.
[00:17.576]	Oh tell them how safe the mines are today
[00:25.378]	And to be like your daddy, bring home a big pay.
[00:32.811]	Now don't you believe them, my boy,That story's a lie.
[00:43.255]	Remember the disaster at the Mannington mine
[00:52.686]	Where seventy-eight miners were buried alive,
[00:59.803]	Because of unsafe conditions your daddy died.
[01:07.331]	They lure us with money, it sure is a sight.
[01:15.853]	When you may never live to see the daylight
[01:23.166]	With your name among the big headlines
[01:31.832]	Like that awful disaster at the Mannington mine.
[01:38.165]	So don't you believe them, my boy,That story's a lie.
[01:48.843]	Remember the disaster at the Mannington mine
[01:58.446]	Where seventy-eight miners were buried alive,
[02:05.984]	Because of unsafe conditions your daddy died.
[02:13.079]	There's a man in a big house way up on the hill
[02:20.476]	Far, far from the shacks where the poor miners live.
[02:27.505]	He's got plenty of money, Lord, everything's fine
[02:36.852]	And he has forgotten the Mannington mine.
[02:43.249]	Yes, he has forgotten the Mannington mine....
[02:51.584]	There is a grave way down in the Mannington mine
[03:03.064]	There is a grave way down in the Mannington mine.
[03:17.317]	Oh, what were their last thoughts, what were their cries
[03:30.183]	As the flames overtook them in the Mannington mine....
[03:39.113]	So don't you believe them, my boy,That story's a lie.
[03:49.121]	Remember the disaster at the Mannington mine
[03:57.365]	Where seventy-eight miners were buried alive,
[04:04.354]	Because of unsafe conditions your daddy died.
[04:11.054]	How can God forgive you, you do know what you've done.
[04:18.966]	You've killed my husband, now you want my son.
