This is a song that makes big welsh men stand up and cry with pride and means a lot in my family because of my uncles from up pontypool way, and because of my Grampa big Ted Lear from cwmbran."God bless you all"

Thank you for singing this beautiful song! Rita MacNeil was so powerful in her creation of this song, and also sings it most beautifully in Canada from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

[plunger1two3]

excellent voice,well done paul, every word is true, god bless all who worked under ground.

[rockaroundtheclock56]

if you want a good song by him, then look at 'the price of coal' and 'the rhondda'

[marmite165]

what a brilliant voice,never heard of him before but will look at his other stuff thanks

[welsh1962]

wonderfull i love this music paul child what a nice singer thanks petejames

[dastak111]

wow. what a good job. I am speaking as a geologist(u of t 87) have been trapped twice and I always thought about this song when I was with darkness all around.

[cdnsoldier2nsh]

Not a bad job, but you have to see Rita Mac Neil (she wrote this song) in person sing this along with the Men of the Deeps who are actual coal miners who worked the mines of Cape Breton. They wear their mining gear and turn their hard hat lights on as they sing. It gives you goose bumps.

[littlecle]

This song means so much to me as i have lost my taid to the pits xx

[davekat]

Pray for me lost deep beneath, with only the company of your memory, I drift to sleep, Pray for me lost as shadows creep, I hold you close in faith and belief, That one day soon I shall see the light of love, of you that lit my darkness from above, Hold me close now in prayer and heart, for we are here and never apart. Pray for me and not let go for you sustain me now lost below.. pray for me.. pray for me...
