Utah Phillips Funeral Train
Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
May it burst _________
1900 was the year
A great explosion rocked the town
While a man was underground
Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
When we gathered at the site
We thought that just a few had died
________ our way across the minhead
And carried out 200 dead
Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
When we brought them to the light
It was a black and awful site
In one family their was nine
Lost inside that burning mine
Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
A miner's life is hard I know
His world is dark and far below
While he starves and goes in rags
He's cheaper than the coal he digs
Don't you see that funeral train?
Don't you see that funeral train?
Rolling down that lonesome valley
It's the longest one I've seen
