Lyrics New York Mine Disaster, 1941 - Martin Carthy

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 new
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don′t go talking 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
Thinking those who 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 talking too loud, you′ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
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 talking too loud, you′ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
