His Chosen Time Lyrics - Ten: Songs Of Ben Bullington - Darrell Scott

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 

Chorus
