You've heard of the Gresford disaster,The terrible price that was paid;Two hundred and sixty-two colliers were lost,And three of the rescue brigade.Down there in the dark they are lying;They died for nine shillings a day.They have worked out their shift and now they must lieIn darkness until Judgement Day.Farewell our dear wives and our children,Farewell our dear comrades as well.Don't send your sons down the dark dreary pit,They'll be damned like the sinners in hell.Anon.
