Deep down in the ground were the miners go
There's a strange smelling gas and it's coming from below
Yes it's coming from below and it's dangerous for you all
And every miner frightened when he hears this call:
Chorus:
There's firedamp
Firedamp
Firedamp
Oh, firedamp
Firedamp
Firedamp
Yeah, firedamp
Firedamp
Firedamp
Put on your light and better beware
Now take your shovel and don't forget your pick
And stay not at home although you feel sick
For if you do you won't get paid
So hurry little miner you mustn't be late
Chorus
Have you ever heard the roaring thunder poor pitmens wife
This powerful explosion has taken your mans life
He went to the cage no, nay, never to return
And now the devil's got him and in hell he will burn
2X Chorus
