NEW YORK MINING DISASTER [NINETEEN FORTY-ONE]
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.
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.
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.
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.

HUGE CHILE MINING DISASTER [TODAY, TWENTY TEN]
The people wish to see this heart-tugging story,
A hopeful movie of poor kin like me,
The tough men lost down in that mine in San Jose.
You won't look so fine, San Jose?
Sullenly you are doomed in the dark mine
Oh, do not leave me, God, take out this death sign, San Jose.
Muddied, you struggled with pain to see the sun,
Imagining all your weakest men are gone.
You know time, how long everyone waited;
Buried in crumbling muck, will you be excavated?
You won't look so fine, San Jose?
Sullenly you are doomed in the dark mine
Oh, do not leave me, God, take out this death sign, San Jose.
The people wish to see this heart-tugging story,
One hopeful movie of poor kin like me,
Of no tough men lost down in that mine in San Jose.
Now you look so fine, San Jose.
Suddenly you're alive, out that dark mine!
God simply listened, He took down that death sign, San Jose.
