There's a town in West Virginia
And the name it is McBeth
Where eighteen miners went to work
And there they met their death
They kissed their wives and babies
With smiling faces bright
Not knowing death was waiting
In the mine for them that night
McBeth, McBeth
Down in Mcbeth
Far down the slope they travelled
Six-hundred feet below
Two-miles back in the coal mine
They knew they had to go
The reached their places safely
Thought everything was well
But such a blast a terrible blast
No human tongue can tell
McBeth, McBeth
Down in Mcbeth
The mine was pitched in darkness
The miners were entombed
Behind the tons of coal and rock
Where fate had sealded their doom
The rescue squads were brave indeed
Heroic efforts made
And brought out victims,one by one
In hopes a life to save
McBeth, McBeth
Down in McBeth
The news was spread, it quickly went,To those of aching hearts
How sad, their loved ones had to go
Forever they must part
But the parting will not be for long
If they trust Him and pray
And live the lives on earth they should
They'll meet again someday
McBeth, McBeth
Down in McBeth
