The Shaft lyrics

Artist  : George Canyon 
Song : The Shaft



 Send "The Shaft" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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



'Cause it's the 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



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



Of the 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

So I put on my hat and I go underground
