A. L Lloyd, Come all ye bold miners, prints thirty odd songs about mining disasters, but none of them has the line you are looking for, Peter. This is the nearest verse I found, but most probably not the one you want:
"Oh tell me, tell me, dearest mother
, is my father with the slain?
Is my only little brother
coming from the pit again?
When will father be returning
to join me in my childish play?
The mother cries, with anguish burning
Your father is in heaven, I pray."
(verse from: Melancholy explosion at the Moss pit)
