New York Mining Disaster 1941

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

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
