https://www.songfacts.com/facts/bee-gees/new-york-mining-disaster-1941-have-you-seen-my-wife-mr-jones says there was no mining disaster in New York in 1941, and this song most closely resembles the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales. Still, it's a powerful song. It was the first single released by the BeeGees, in 1967.

Here are the lyrics:


NEW YORK MINING DISASTER 1941
(Barry Gibb & Robin Gibb)

In the event of something happening to me
there is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
or have they given up and all gone home to bed
thinking those who once existed must be dead

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

In the event of something happening to me
there is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
