Translation:
(To the tune of “John Brown’s body”.)
They reached the top of a pot
which was 80 metres deep
Chorus:
And he ain’t going to cave no more.
Glory, Glory, what a hell of a way to die,
Glory, Glory, what a hell of a way to die,
Glory, Glory, what a hell of a way to die!
And he ain’t going to cave no more.
The leader was the last to climb
the first to hit the ground
Chorus
At first he landed on a ledge
but bounced right off again
Chorus
Another 50 feet below
his carbide lamp blew out
Chorus
At 100 feet he grabbed the rope
but couldn’t hold on tight
Chorus
The scraped him off a stalagmite
and send him home to mum
Chorus, dirge-like
