Funeral Train

Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen

May it burst _________
1900 was the year
A great explosion rocked the town
While a man was underground

Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen

When we gathered at the site
We thought that just a few had died
________ our way across the minhead
And carried out 200 dead

Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen

When we brought them to the light
It was a black and awful site
In one family their was nine
Lost inside that burning mine

Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen

A miner's life is hard I know
His world is dark and far below
While he starves and goes in rags
He's cheaper than the coal he digs

Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
