Lyrics
You've heard of the Gresford disaster, the terrible price that was paid
266 miners were lost, three men of the rescue brigade
It occurred in the month of September, three in the morning that pit
Was wracked by a violent explosion, in the Dennis where the gas lay so thick
Down in the Dennis deep section, gas heaped like snow in a drift
Many a man left the coal face before he'd worked out his shift
Two weeks before the explosion, to the shot firer Tomlinson cried
If you fire that shot we'll be blown to hell, and no one can say that he lied
The fire reports were missing, the records of 42 days
The collier manager had them destroyed to cover his criminal ways
