Thread Name: Lyr Req: Red Jacket Mine Explosion
Subject: Lyrics Req - Red Jacket Mine Explosion
Does anyone have the words for "Red Jacket Mine Explosion"? The tune of this song closely resembles "Red River Valley" and I believe it was originally recorded by the Phipps Family. It starts out with:

Why did the camp seem so lonely
And why were they feeling so strange
It seemed every person was restless
But why had there come such a change

That evening the men lingered longer.....

And that's all the words I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
