A baby cries in the morning sun,
F C G C G
The mother looks down on her fatherless one
F C G C G
The rescue team goes on and on
F G
More good men going down
F C G C G
And her eyes showed tears of pain
F C G C G
As she looked out her window-paine
F C G C G
Her man's not comin' home again
F G
More good men going down
F C G C G
He died when he was just twenty two
F C G C G
A young man in his prime
F C G C G
he left a wife and a baby boy
F G
more good men going down
F C G C G
The mother will live and the boy will grow
F C G C G
in a few more years you'll never know
F C G C G
that the mother from those other times
F C G C G
Had lost another man to the mines
F G
More good men going down
F G
More good men going down
