I saw the news while watching SNL, and when the words "all nine miners" scrolled across the screen - I was sure it was going to be bad news. Thanks be to God!!

I just gotta say again how happy I am. I'm watching CNN and crying for joy. My mother married into a coal mining family when I was 7. My step-father's father was crushed to death in a mine and his grandfather lost a leg in the mine and I've sort of taken this story personally. You know, 50 years ago it wouldn't have been possible to save these men. :(

I've been singing this old folk song in my mind... Judy Collins has a beautiful rendition of it...

COAL TATTOO

Travelin' down that coaltown road,
Listen to those rubber tires whine;
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore,
I'm leavin' you behind.
I've been a coal man all my life
Layin' down track in the hole,
Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
Blood veins blue as the coal.

Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head."
I said "That's a blue print, left by the coal
Just a little more and I'd be dead"
And I love the rumble and I love the dark
I love the cool of the slate.
But it's on down the new road lookin' for a job
It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate.

I've stood for the union, walkin' the line,
Fought against the company;
Stood for the U. M. W. of A.
Now who's gonna stand for me?
I got no house and I got no pay,
Just got a worried soul;
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal.

Someday when I die and go
To Heaven, the land of my dreams,
I won't have to worry on losin' my job
To bad times 'n big machines.
Well, I got no job and I got no pay
Just got a worried soul.
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal.
Left by the number nine coal.
