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
