1970's song about cannibalism while trapped in a mine
this song was both Liked & hated here in PA
because it hit home for some 
because it was a song about 3 Miners Trapped & 2 Escaping because they ate the 3rd Miner
Some actually tried to calm things down by saying Timothy was a Mule.
However to for the record. (Sorry ! no pun intended) Rupert Holmes wrote the song.
"Rupert did an on-camera interview and he said it's not a mule," . They ate the guy.
who would know better what a song is about then the Writer ?
How a song about cannibalism will forever be linked to mining disaster - News - Standard Speaker
anyway here is Timothy by the Buoys .
Cool song , Cool Band. Saw them locally many times.
