New York Mining Disaster 1941 Lyrics

New York Mining Disaster 1941 lyrics

In the event of something happening to me

There is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew



Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talkin' too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones



I keep straining my ears to hear a sound

Maybe someone is digging underground

Or have they given up and all gone home to bed

Thinkin' those that once existed must be dead?



Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talkin' too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones



In the event of something happenin' to me

There is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew



Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talkin' too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
