Ore Knob Song Come blooming youth in midst of day, And see how soon some pass away, There were two men worked with us here, What became of them you soon shall hear. They worked all day till evening tide, Before the ground it made its slide, At fifty minutes after five, They were healthy men and yet alive. Before the whistle blew for six, their die was cast, thier doom was fixed, The rocks and dirt came tumbling down, And under it these men were found. Both cold and dead and could not live, For God had took the spark he give, They were brought to the top a dreadful sight, How lonesome was that Tuesday night? Poor Sherley and Smith how much we miss, Them around the old Ore Knob today, We hope they’er gone to a world of bliss, But none of us we dare not say. But with the Lord there’s nothing strange, He could their hearts in a moment change, We hope He did their hearts renew And receive them in that heavenly crew. Poor Sherley had a wife and children dear. And Smith had a mother this news to hear. We hope they will for Consilation, Read and believe John’s revelation, That says the dead will one day rise, And saints will mount the upward skies, To praise and sing and the Lord adore. Where saints that meet shall part no more. Let us take heed when the scriptures say, That we must watch as well as pray, For in an hour when least is thought, The summons of death, it may be brought.

For Owen Mills Death of The Infidels Daughter (Tune-After the battle mother) Father I am surely dying, fainter and fainter grows my breathe And the sharp pains Oh my father, can they be the sting of death, I am going Oh my father, with the lost ones to dwell, Oh my father why did you tell me, that there was no burning hell. Father I have trusted in you, I believed as you believed, I have never never doubted, but I've been so deceived, This creed here that we have followed, may be alright to live by But I really can't believe it, now that I have come to die. CHORUS Farewell father you'll remember, while my soul is in the flame But tho you'll not forget me father, for you know you've been to blame. Oh, my father don't believe it, Oh I see the firey flame, Father when I am in torment, don't forget you've been to blame, Just remember what I've told you, Oh I know that it is hell, I can hear the lost ones wailing, and I am going there to dwell, In the years to come remember, that through you my soul was damned It will be brought up against you, at the judgement as you stand, Now goodbye for I am dying, going with the lost to dwell, May this prove to you a warning, God forgive you now farewell.
