Quecreek - Buddy Miller

At the quecreek mine nine miners went down

Two hundred and forty feet deep in the ground

The night shift went a mile when there came a shout

Somebody’s hit water we gotta get out

It was over their heads and too fast to outrun

Together they were tied to live or die as one

Help came from all round

But then the drill stripped and broke

So the men penned good-byes and wives hoped against hope

When the waters come up

When you go thru the flood

In the Lord you can trust

He will be there with us

Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground

He was dead, but the third day God’s hand brought Him out

And the miners were buried three nights and three days

But like Jesus sunday morning all nine men were raised
