Bono: Like to...I d like to try a song that I think we ve only played once beforeso. This is a city that a...a lot of Irish people came to this cityright? So this time...this Irish...these Irish people came as rock and roll bandokay? So...but this is a folk song. It s like...the Irish kinda hold America in a very special place becausefor over a hundred years or moreIrish have come over here to find work and find a future. And they brouught with them songsold Irish folk songs that became old American folk songs. AndI hope maybe we d leave behind some songs one day. This is a song written by Peggy Seeger. It s a song...I wished I d heard this song on the raidio during the miners strike in England a few years ago. This is called Springhill Mining Disaster.
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There s blood on the coaland the miners lie
In roads that never saw sun or sky
Roads--
Bono: Shut up for a secondwill you? Stop whistling cause I m not in the Beatlesokay? It s U2 here.
In the town of Springhill
They don t sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless
Miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Listen to the shouts of the black faced miner
Listen to the call of the rescue team
We have no waterlight or bread
So we re living on songs and hope instead
Living on songs and hope instead
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There s blood on the coaland the miners lie
In roads that never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun nor sky
In the town of Springhill
Don t sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless
Miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bono: Thanks for your patience. Thank you.
