1. Let's start with a classic. Tennessee Ernie Ford says he has one fist of iron and another of steel in this ballad for people with low-paying, thankless jobs. What song is this? Sixteen Tons Forty Hour Week Take this Job and Shove It Workin' Man Blues

2. The singer talks about the beautiful town his parents grew up in, before it was destroyed by Peabody Coal. Can you name the town and the song? Spring Hill (Tennesee) Homestead (Arkansas) Ross Corners (West Virginia) Paradise (Kentucky)

3. Jimmy Dean sings about this unpopular miner who saves twenty lives during a collapse. Can you name this song? Rocky Racoon Loosiana Bamma Big Bad John Timothy

4. This is another song by Merle Travis, who apparently had a thing about mining. How does he describe it down in the mines? Dangerous and Deadly Dank as Death Dark as a Dungeon Dank and Despressing

5. 'Timothy,' by the Buoys, deals with some miners trapped in a cave-in. What do the other miners do to poor Timothy? They strangle him to conserve oxygen They eat him They throw him down a shaft to test its depth They leave him crippled and dying in the dark

6. Billy Edd Wheeler wrote a folk song about an odd condition he developed in the mines. What does he call it? Black Blood Coal Tattoo Coal Miner's Lung Mine Blindness

7. Peggy Seeger wrote a song about twelve Canadian miners who survived for eight days trapped in a (guess what?) mine collapse. Can you name this song? Paradise Living on Song and Hope Living Grave Ballad of Springhill

10. As usual, we'll end on an upbeat note. It seems most folk songs deal with mine disasters or train wrecks. The 2003 movie 'A Mighty Wind' goes one step further, and has a song about a train wreck in a coal mine. What's the name of this farcical song? Blood in the Mine Blood on the Tracks Blood on the Coal Blood on the Rails
