Nothing they could do just sit down there as the black closed all around them
And the water rose so quick and cold an unlikely place to drown
-
Nine in the mine, trapped down below, down, down, down in the ground
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye, take care of the family, I'm buried alive
-
They held their heads up high as they strugged hard to breathe
And asked the lord to open his arms for the nine souls he'd receive
-
Nine in the mine, trapped down below, down, down, down in the ground
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye, take care of the family, I'm buried alive

-
They lashed themselves together so in Death all might be found
And prayed there for a miracle some twenty-four stories down
-
Nine in the mine, trapped down below, down, down, down in the ground
And this would be the day I didn't kiss my wife goodbye, take care of the family, I'm buried alive
-
down, down, down in the ground
