Buddy, Julie Miller - Quecreek lyrics

At the Quecreek mine nine miners went down
Two hundred and forty feet deep in the ground
The night shift went a mile
When there came a shout
Somebody's hit water we gotta get out

It was over their heads and
Too fast to outrun
Together they were tied to live or die as one
Help came from all round
But then the drill stripped and broke
So the men penned good-byes and
Wives hoped against hope
When the waters come up
When you go thru the flood
In the Lord you can trust
He will be there with us

Now Jesus was laid in a hole in the ground
He was dead
But the third day God's hand brought Him out
And the miners were buried three
Nights and three days
But like Jesus Sunday morning all
Nine men were raised
