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!”

tear stained eyes of kin

never ever seen what the 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
