New York Mining Disaster 1941 Lyrics - Chumbawamba

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 talkin' 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 

Thinkin' those that 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 talkin' too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones 

In the event of something happenin' 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 talkin' too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
