In a country far away
Back in another time
They tell the story still today
Down in the Blue John mine

Twenty-eight candles lit the way
To the chamber he had found
In fascination Daniel stood
A hundred feet under the ground

Lord knows there’s danger down below
For all who dares to find
But men have worked and men have died
Down in the Blue John mine

These words are carved in a block of stone
It’s been there for quite some time
Good health to all who work down below
Down in the Blue John mine

Well in a country far away
Back in another time
They tell the story still today
Down in the Blue John mine

[1] In a [^b7] country [1] far away
Back in a-[^b7]-nother [1] time
They tell the [^b7] story [1] still [4] today
[1] Down in the [5] Blue John [1] mine

Twenty-eight candles lit the way
To the chamber he had found
In fascination Daniel stood
A hundred feet under the ground

Lord knows there’s danger down below
For all who dares to find
But men have worked and men have died
Down in the Blue John mine

These words are carved in a block of stone
It’s been there for quite some time
Good health to all who work down below
Down in the Blue John mine

Well in a country far away
Back in another time
They tell the story still today
Down in the Blue John mine
