See more about the Sunshine Mine Fire See the children cryin' fearin' their daddy's dyin' Broken hearts everywhere . . tonight There's sadness in the valley children cryin' for their daddy It's as dark in their hearts as it is down in the mine It was on May 2nd, nineteen hundred seventy-two It was a day like any other that is for me and you But for ninety-one men their future's they could not see It was goodbye forever hello eternity Chorus See the children cryin' fearin' their daddy's dyin' Broken hearts everywhere . . tonight There's sadness in the valley children cryin' for their daddy It's as dark in their hearts as it is down in the mine It was on that fateful morn the foreman gave the cry There's fire in the Sunshine Mine someone is bound to die Searchers began to search loved ones began to pray I guess we never will forget what happened on that day Chorus See the children cryin' fearin' their daddy's dyin' Broken hearts everywhere . . tonight There's sadness in the valley children cryin' for their daddy It's as dark in their hearts as it is down in the mine Death stalked the Sunshine Mine like a silent killer, he found his prey Men never knew what happened on that fateful day As the poisoned gas took its toll loved ones hearts were filled with fear For nine long days they waited for news they would never hear Then as suddenly as it began it ended then came the news we all did dread The foreman said "it's all over now" You loved ones can go on home There's two survivors, ninety-one dead Chorus See the children cryin' fearin' their daddy's dyin' Broken hearts everywhere . . tonight There's sadness in the valley children cryin' for their daddy It's as dark in their hearts as it is down in the mine |
