Welcome to the mine Welcome to the toil Welcome to the trouble, 'neath the earth and soil You'll sweat a little water You'll sweat a little blood And you might get out if the mine don't flood.
It took many hours of listening to the song over and over and over. The hardest thing is trying to make a digital keyboard sound as close to an acoustical instrument as possible. I remember years ago the lead part was played with a Banjo and then later the lead part was played with a Mandolin. I never could find a sound on the Motif XS that matched the original sound on the song. I finally had to settle for what you hear on this recording. One day I might try and re-record it again using sampled sounds. Thank you for your comment.
Correct, there was a pickaxe sound hitting on the beat. One of the reasons i created this song without that hammer sound is because when i was growing up the song originally didn’t have the tink sound in it. I’m not sure when the sond was added but i do have a poor cassette recording of the song in 1982 and another in 1987 and neither recording has it in there. This was also before it was a shooting gallery.
@@NickFike thank you! Perhaps a second video would be nice, Because my uncle introduced me to the park, and it has had the pickaxe sounds most of my life, any way this is a great video, good job!
I don't know what it is, but I get the feeling it's made by the same person who made the thomas season 8 theme. Both of them have the first two 4beats(I don't know what it's called) going down in notes and the third going up.
No one knows who wrote the song. I reached out to SDC years back to get more information on the song and no one could answer me. They figured the song was written for the ride and that is all the information they could provide. It is a mystery.
Welcome to the mine
Welcome to the toil
Welcome to the trouble, 'neath the earth and soil

Not many people know the lyrics. Thanks for posting. This is such a fun song.
terrorizing memories as a child lol
The official anthem of midwesterners
Wow man! Great freaking job!
Thanks a lot!
Now we need an epic remix.
The Flooded Mine has a fan page on Facebook. They might have the lyircs posted there.
Quite talented. Good job.
I've already commented, but I've just come back to remark at just how accurate this is to the original. Just, wow

Awesome! Makes me want to ride the ride all over again
Cool! I love that ride and the song is pretty awesome!
Makes me feel like a miner
Love you
Amazing! But I think there is pickaxe tink sounds to the beat of the song

Great! Now we just need a vocal cover.
This is perfect for jail games
You you have a midi file for this that I could get?
the minute I get the midi to this, I'm gonna make it a sega genesis tune
Who wrote it?
That is a question I have asked Silver Dollar City about, and nobody seems to have an answer.

What’s the real song called
