Pulling down the rafters as they backed out of the hole
Its dangerous but the boss wants every last bit of that coal
Its gravy time if its not your own life on the line
Sometimes on safety it pays to pay the fine
Crandell Canyon Utah, nine miners died
It was an act of God
nothing to do with me said Mr Murray
who owned the mine
I'm a Christian man
I hope they all believe
God took those miners at his chosen time
at his chosen time
He said it was an earthquake out of his control
Carla Mae Montoyas husbands never coming home
The Seismic University his plea did not confirm
Oh penny saved is not a penny earned
