In 1891 the mining began

No one knew what it would bring

After 41 Years it seemed it would end

Then "Moweaqua Coal" stepped in

The mine was leased from Pana Coal

It was intended to be shut down

The terror that was Moweaqua's Shame

Brought onto them by their own

On Christmas Eve 1932

When methane gas exploded

54 men were killed that night

They never should've died
