      On July 22, 1972, a fire broke out at the Blacksville Number 1 mine in Monongalia County. It was sparked by a continuous mining machine that came into contact with an electric wire.

    My grandpap died just before I was born so I never got to meet him. All I have of him are some heirlooms and stories that were passed down. This song reminds me so much of the stories my great grandmother would tell me that he told her when she was young:(

    I'm from south west PA right near WV. I have a lot of family and friends that worked in the coal mines and still do. I'm one of the only males in my family that's not been workin in the mines yet. I do excavation for a living so I still dig but not coal and not in a mine..but believe me that them ditches are dangerous. I've been in more than a few that collapsed. It's not a fun experience, I'll tell ya that.

    LYRICS:
    Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
    Digging in the dark black pearl
    Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
    Never did marry his girl
    There ain't no air and there ain't no light
    And there ain't no way to make it out alive
    His wedding was planned for the 5th of July
    But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl
    Your hands gets black and your eyes get burned
    And your lungs get tired and poor
    It draws you in like a opium den
    It beckons you back for more
    There ain't no air and there ain't no light
    And there ain't no way to make it out alive
    His wedding was planned for the 5th of July
    But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl
    Down, down under West Virginia
    Down, down in the pitch black earth
    Down, down on her knees she cried
    My love is somewhere in that mountain
    Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
    Digging in the dark black pearl
    Jesse got trapped in a coal mine
    Never did marry his girl
    She held out hope for a couple of months
    That he was still living somewhere
    And he'd put up the strongest kind of fight
    He'd dig himself out with the dynamite
    He'd finally be free on the 5th of July
    But Jesse got trapped in the coal mine and never did marry his girl
    Down, down under West Virginia
    Down, down in the pitch black earth
    Down, down on her knees she cried
    Down, down deep below the surface
    Down, down by the Mason-Dixon line
    Down, down on her knees she cried
    My love is somewhere in that mountain

    The amount of people thinking that Jesse actually died in the mine, is astonishing. If you listen to the lyrics you will hear that he made it out alive, on the day of his wedding, but whatever he learned from this close call made him leave the idea of him being dead unchanged. The twist at the end makes the story much more interesting :D

    ok i recently rediscovered this song and i’m just now realizing jesse most likely had a pickaxe and could probably have mined his way out. and another thing, if people knew he was trapped in there why didnt they also help him mine his way out? other than that, good song

    • @tiffingbird
      @tiffingbird 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh,,, yeah when a mine collapses there's no way out. He most likely got crushed by the rock and if he didn't he would have suffocated long before he could have gotten out. He had Dynamite and a pick yes but mine collapses are no joke
      Edit: Also yes they most likely would have attempted to get him and the others that got trapped (he most DEFINITELY wasn't the only one) but the rock around it at that point has lost a lot of its stability and would have put more workers at risk
