Rescue From Moose River Gold Mine by Wilf Carter
Chorded by Gary W
This song is about a true event that happened on April 12, 1936
FWay down in Bbold Nova FScotia
Moose CRiver, it seems, is the Fname
Three BbCanadians on Easter FSunday
To the Ctumbledown gold mine they Fcame
They descended the Cmine for in- F-spection
Never Cdreaming Fate trailed them close Fby
With a Bbcrash that gave them no Fwarning
En- C-tombed in that mine there to Fdie
Brave Bbmen from all over the Fcountry
Volun- C-teered to give up their Flives
They Bbslaved with unceasing Fefforts
It Cseemed that death they de- F-fied
Long days and Cnights they had Flabored
Turned Cback when great cave-ins Ffell
While Bbfar below patiently Fwaiting
Three Cmen were in one living FHell
Many Bbtimes turned back when near Frescue
They Cseen all was blocking their Fway
With a Bbprayer on their lips they worked Fonward
We must Cwin, we must win, pray we Fmay
On Sunday they Cgot their first Fmessage
From the Cmen prisoned far far be- F-low
?Can you Bbhelp us?? they heard the men Fcalling
?Our Csuff'rings God above only Fknows.?
Next Bbmessage filled all hearts with Fsorrow
As they Cheard them say ?One pal is Fgone
We are Bbtrying our best to hold on Fboys
Do your Cbest. Don't make it too Flong.?
At last the great Cstrain it was Fbroken
A Cminer out of breath brought the Fnews
`We have Bbwon the great fight!? he was Fcalling
?At Clast we have dug our way Fthrough!?
That Bbgreat fight against the Dark FAngel
It is Cone fighting heart all the Fway
Still a Bbtragedy came with the Frescue
From the Ctomb of those terrible Fdays
Now friends, this Cstory is Fending
With Chardships of many a Fday
But this Bbrescue will go down in Fhist'ry
Of the Cgold mine down Moose River Fway
