lyrics

The Frank Slide

Dubbed ‘the mountain
that moves’ by
the Blackfoot
who refused to camp below
Still the settlers founded Frank
at the base
and mined it for coal
When 82
million tonnes
Of limestone
broke off the top
It came crashing down
and buried this mining town

The early morning hours
of April 29, 1903,
saw the deadliest landslide
in Canadian history
Only twelve bodies
were ever recovered from that spot
Most of the victims remain
entombed beneath those rocks

The deafening roar was heard in Cochrane 200 miles away
They said that Frank was nearly wiped out on that fateful day

Weeks after the Frank Slide
They reopened the mine
Rebuilt the railroad
Relocated homes
Cause it was business as usual
At least it was for those who didn’t die
