lyrics
Half Mile Down
Before the sun comes up each morning
I’m on my way a half mile down
It’s darker here than the middle of the night
Me and the boys have got no choice
There’s nothing else we know
We’ve been headed here since we were all of five years old
We work our hands to the bone
And breath the dust
Because the company says we must
To bring coal out of the West Virginia hills
You see the old men coughing
Hear them talking about wasting their lives
You see the pain in their eyes
Then you look at your children
Wondering what they could be
If they only had the chance
Up in Nova Scotia a mine collapsed
They said the cause was a methane blast
The company tries to act concerned
They try to cut their loses
And save the profits
Knowing they must say what’s proper
“Those workers, they are foremost on our minds.”
Rescue crews found eleven who died
There’s fifteen more trapped inside
Their families hang on every word

This is a compilation that showcases four of the top talents of the folk/songwriter revival in Cambridge/Boston in the early 1990's. They've all gone on to bigger things, but this is the beginning. Stuart Ferguson
Jim's Big Ego showcases, well, Jim's Big Ego. You can't go wrong with an album that has songs like "Cut off your head," "In a bar," "The Ballad of Barry Allen," and "Asshole." Really, go check it out. Stuart Ferguson
