George Canyon lyrics : "Shaft"

Lyrics to Shaft :
Can you smell that McDonell it don't smell so well
Or the one in the cage tipped over and fell

And if we lived to see Sunday be able to tell
Of the terror below and the place we call Hell


'Cause it's a shaft that will feed us and the shaft that will kill
Our brothers and fathers who die by her will
The fishing is slow and there's work to be done

So I'll put on my hat and I'll go underground

Now I fear for my children, I fear for my wife

And if I don't make it back now I've had a good life
For there's a cave in behind us only one way to go
Down deep in the shaft so far below


'Cause it's the shaft that will feed us and the shaft that will kill
Our brothers and fathers who die by her will

The fishing is slow and there's work to be done
So I'll put on my hat and I'll go underground


What do you say to a family of one
Who don't come back up with the rest
Is it better to let them just mourn by themselves

Or tell 'em he was one of the best

There's a flash above head, is it fire or light

McDonell lies seethin' the draggers in sight
And a few hours later we'll be smellin' sweet air
With all of our children the stores we'll share


Of the shaft that will feed us and the shaft that will kill
Our brothers and fathers who die by her will

The fishing is slow and there's work to be done
So I'll put on my hat and I'll go underground
So I put on my hat and I go underground
