“An’ the shaft was soon shut and my work was cut
And the firing air, it felt frozen
‘Till a man come to speak and he said in one week
That number eleven was closing.”

(Bob Dylan in North country blues)

“Back in the mountains, so cold and so deep
Many old miners lie fast asleep.
This was a miner, a coal-mining slave.
Now he lies sleeping in a coal miner’s grave.”

(J.E. Mainer in Coal Miner’s Grave)
