New York Mining Disaster 1941 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,
Mr. Jones.


[Verse 2]
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed?
Thinking those who once existed must be dead?

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,
Mr. Jones

[Verse 3: repeat of verse 1]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,
Mr. Jo - o - o - o - ones
