Buddy Miller - Quecreek lyrics

At the quecreek mine nine miners went down Two hundred and forty feet deep in the ground The night shift went a mile when there came a shout Somebody's hit water we gotta get out It was over their heads and too fast to outrun Together they were tied to live or die as one Help came from all round But then the drill stripped and broke So the men penned good-byes and wives hoped against hope When the waters come up When you go thru the flood In the Lord you can trust He will be there with us Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground He was dead, but the third day God's hand brought Him out And the miners were buried three nights and three days But like Jesus sunday morning all nine men were raised
