Shut Up in the Mines at Coal Creek

1
The birds are sweetly singin’
4 1
and the sun is shinin’ bright
 
But in our place of toiling
5 1
It is as dark as night
 

Shut up in the mines at coal creek
I know we’re bound to death
But if we’ll trust in Jesus
Our souls to heaven will fly

Oh I see my loved ones
My wife is in distress
She does not know that her husband
Is goin’ home to rest

The sky is falling my darling
And death is right at hand
I’m going home to heaven
To live in a better land
