by Ted Edwards
To the coal walked Albert Berry, drill of
iron in his hand.
Off to fight another battle for the people of this land.
Said the
coal to Albert Berry, ''Forty years you've been a man.
You've took away the best part of me.
Today I'll kill you if I can.''
Albert took his drill of iron, and he drilled himself a
hole.
''For forty years you've tried to kill me.'' said Albert Berry to the
coal.
Said the coal to Albert Berry, ''I have scarred your back with blue,
And your
lungs are black and tattered, today I'll make an end of you!''
Albert took the shot and
wire and plunged them deep into the hole.
''Now do your worst you black old devil.'' said
Albert Berry to the coal.
Shouted the coal to Albert Berry, as Albert pushed the plunger
deep,
''I will make your wife a widow! I will make your children weep!''
A ton of
dirt flew down the tunnel as Albert crouched into a hole.
''So you didn't get me this time.''
said Albert Berry to the coal.
Albert stepped into the tunnel and he did not hear the
sound,
As a ton of dirt and rubble crushed Albert Berry to the ground.
Then said the
coal to Albert Berry as Albert's blood seeped in the floor.
''Men have always won the battles,
but I always win the war!''
Then said the ghost of Albert Berry out of every bag of
coal,
''There'll be other Albert Berrys.'' said Albert Berry to the coal.
