Damned earworms

Yanno, if someone was to come up with the full and definitive text of THE BALLAD OF SPRINGHILL, I'd think highly of that kind person. I've been poking around and I still can't find the songbook, but keep coming up with snatches like:

There's blood on the stone where the miners lie,
Six long miles from the sun and sky, boys,
Six long miles from the sun and sky.

And I can't remember whether that was something cooked up in a 3 AM jam session with Mike Seeger and the New Lost City Ramblers under the influence of various chemicals, or what....

Much too long ago.

I think this may tie in with the discussion of beer, whiskey, or other substances above...
