The lyrics are here in the Mudcat/Digital Tradition. Have you looked in the database and forum search? It's actually called SpringHILL not Springfield |

Thank you for your help. I try to help people find lyrics and it is very hard some times. So appreciate all the help the mudcatters give me. Thanks again, Cookie |

Mudcat searching takes time to learn, so don't worry about it, but it helps to tell us where you have looked so we can avoid going over already-worked ground. ~S~ |

And it goes like this: Twenty third of October I'll remember that day. When we entered the mines in our usual way. Clark had his birthday................. The rest is blank. Help would be appreciated and maybe from a fellow Hallogian. Beer. |
