This is a city that a...a lot of Irish people came to this city, right? So this time...this Irish...these Irish people came as rock and roll band, okay? So...but this is a folk song. It's like...the Irish kinda' hold America in a very special place because, for over a hundred years or more, Irish have come over here to find work and find a future. And they brouught with them songs, old Irish folk songs that became old American folk songs. And, I hope maybe we'd leave behind some songs one day. This is a song written by Peggy Seeger. It's a song...I wished I'd heard this song on the raidio during the miners' strike in England a few years ago. This is called Springhill Mining Disaster." In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine There's blood on the coal, and the miners lie In roads that never saw sun or sky Roads-- Bono: "Shut up for a second, will you? Stop whistling 'cause I'm not in the Beatles, okay? It's U2 here." In the town of Springhill They don't sleep easy Often the earth will tremble and roll When the earth is restless Miners die Bone and blood is the price of coal Bone and blood is the price of coal Listen to the shouts of the black faced miner Listen to the call of the rescue team We have no water, light or bread So we're living on songs and hope instead Living on songs and hope instead In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine There's blood on the coal, and the miners lie In roads that never saw sun or sky Roads that never saw sun nor sky In the town of Springhill Don't sleep easy Often the earth will tremble and roll When the earth is restless Miners die Bone and blood is the price of coal Bone and blood is the price of coal Bone and blood is the price of coal Bono: "Thanks for your patience.
