lyrics

On the first day of this New Year
The miner spoke up without fear:
The only living wage is found
Miles below the cold Upshur ground
On the second day of this New Year
The town of Tallmansville did hear
A shudder from deep underground
The ICG company town

On the third day of this New Year
The radio reported here
All thirteen miners had been found
Alive and well in the cold hard ground

On the fourth day of this New Year
The CEO's address was clear
Misinformed, sadly misled
A dozen out of all now dead

And as the families of the men
Mourned and prayed for their fallen
No apology there could be found
For the twelve men dead in a company town
