The Shaft Lyrics - George Canyon - George Canyon

Can you smell that McDonell it don't smell so well 

Or the one in the cage tipped over and fell 

And if we lived to see Sunday be able to tell 

Of the terror below and the place we call Hell 

'Cause it's a shaft that will feed us and the shaft that will kill 

Our brothers and fathers who die by her will 

The fishing is slow and there's work to be done 

So I'll put on my hat and I'll go underground 

Now I fear for my children, I fear for my wife 

And if I don't make it back now I've had a good life 

For there's a cave in behind us only one way to go 

Down deep in the shaft so far below

The fishing is slow and there's work to be done 

So I'll put on my hat and I'll go underground 

What do you say to a family of one 

Who don't come back up with the rest 

Is it better to let them just mourn by themselves 

Or tell 'em he was one of the best 

There's a flash above head, is it fire or light 

McDonell lies seethin' the draggers in sight 

And a few hours later we'll be smellin' sweet air 

With all of our children the stores we'll share
