It was April 27 in the year of 91
Bout a mile below the surface and the warm kentucky sun

Blood on the tracks, blood in the mine,
Brothers and sisters what a terrible time.

Blood on the coal, blood on the coal.

The slag pits were steamin' it was 7:25,
Every miner worked the coal face,
Every one of them alive
The train came round the corner,
You could hear the tressel groan,
But the switcher wasn't listnin' so he left the switch alone!

The walls began to tremble and the men began to yell,

They dropped their picks and shovels and to safety they [bad word] 
For to stay among the living in the year of 91!

An Irishman named Murphy said "I'll stop that iron horse!"
And he stood to thrwart it's passage,
And it [bad word] him dead of course.

And I hope he hears the irony when e're this tale is told,
The train that took his life was burning good
Kentucky coal, Hey!
