Started back in '78
we took a pledge and set our fate
to sink this deepest then of mines
to intense dark and cold confines
Introvert or man of song
we dug together dark and long
the universal brotherhood
beneath the earth so understood
To qualify to join us there
just the proud heart that you wear
upon your sleeve let it remain
no doubts or worries entertain
we fuelled the fires of the world
with tons and train-loads hard and hurled
closed '91 pride of our nation
the stoutest pit Deep Navigation
