i don't think i can shed any new light on your mine question but i would hazard a guess that dad's situation in the mine is not a good one. then again, GL is an intelligent songwriter & isn't prone to writing obvious tunes. "SG" is , to me anyway, Lightfoot writing a serious C & W song that wouldn't have been out of place on the Coal Miner's Daughter soundtrack.
While we're on the subject, Endless Wire is one of my fave Gord albums. Aptly titled, the whole record is bristling with electricity, most notably "HHR", "SIDM", & the majestic re-recording of "TCIS".
critics be dammed, it's a wonderful album!
