Mother Of A Miner's Child (Lp Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
She is my flower[00:00:04]
And she blooms for the one who loves her best[00:00:07]
The miners stop to watch as she walks[00:00:13]
They know her love is not for sale[00:00:18]
She will never fail me because I know[00:00:21]
I watch her grow[00:00:26]
And the mother of a miner's child[00:00:29]
Waits for me beside the kitchen door[00:00:32]
She is my light[00:00:38]
In this place where the darkness never ends[00:00:41]
She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend[00:00:47]
She's the only one who listens when I tell her[00:00:52]
I got less than I can spend[00:00:56]
She knows the peace[00:00:59]
Oh mother of a miner's child[00:01:02]
Wash away the coal dust from my face[00:01:05]
When the night shift's done[00:01:18]
She'll be waiting by the table when I come[00:01:20]
Searching for another dream to chase[00:01:26]
Oh mother of a miner's child[00:01:31]
I know that you still think about the day[00:01:34]
When we'll be moving on[00:01:38]
Remember dear old daddy and[00:01:42]
The promise that I made to carry on[00:01:45]
Sometimes I smile[00:01:52]
In the cage where the cables softly hum[00:01:55]
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone[00:02:00]
But the mother of a miner's child[00:02:06]
Is waiting for her paycheck to come home[00:02:08]
Come saturday[00:02:13]
And he is just a miner's boy[00:02:16]
I hope that he will find a better way[00:02:19]
She is my flower[00:02:31]
And she blooms for the one who loves her best[00:02:34]
The miners stop to watch as she walks[00:02:40]
They know her love is not for sale[00:02:45]
She will never fail me because I know[00:02:48]
I watch her grow[00:02:52]
And the mother of a miner's child[00:02:56]
Waits for me beside the kitchen door[00:02:58]
