Springhill 1958 Lyrics

In The Town of Springhill Nova Scotia

Deep in the depths of the Cumberland mine

Draggermen dig in the hopes they will find them

19 men 2 miles underground.

Hope is the word as the families await.

Their future a dream are there men to be saved

A prayer and a tear - is all they can give

In the silence of sorrow they fear

In The Town of Springhill Nova Scotia

Nobody sleeps when the earth makes her quake

Deep in mine as they kneel on their knees

Tapping the pipes 12 men found alive

Joy now the word for the families who await.

A future restored their men have been saved

Prayers could be heard at the break of the day

The lost have been found hear their cheer

In the Town of Springhill Nova Scotia

Hope fades away no more to be found

Then as a light in the darkness appears

7 men O Lord we been found

Joy now the word for the families who await.

A future restored more men have been saved

Prayers could be heard at the break of the day

The lost have been found hear their cheer.
