Shoe Shine Mamma

Spits for her money

Wants to make a living

Try to make her own



All she ever wanted was to

Make her own money and

Settle down on Silium's Hill



She prayed by the water on Manitou Bay

Sipping ambrosia on a holy night

Counting the lovers that had passed her way

They could not see her on Silium's Hill



On a frozen lamp pole I scratch her name

With my rusty old penknife

On a empty heart

Standing by the window, is that you out there

At the Southern Cross over Silium's Hill



Oh, baby will you ride with me

Through the wheat towns to Medicine Hat

When the cold winds blow I'll be there

I'll hang on tight, baby sure go for that



Now the old man knocks at my front door

Shoe Shine Mamma isn't here anymore

There's a stranger in my place

Looking out over Silium's Way



Listen to the humming of the railway cars

My hands frozen on the wheel

Six hundred miles away from home

Running on the shadow of Silium's Hill



Somewhere back on Church Street

Shoe Shine Mamma spits for her money

Trying to make a living, wanna make her own

Down at the bottom of Silium's Hill



Mamma wanna build her own

Down at the bottom of Silium's Hill


Mirror lyrics:

Down at the bottom of Silium's Hill

Mamma wanna build her own



Down at the bottom of Silium's Hill

Trying to make a living, wanna make her own

Shoe Shine Mamma spits for her money

Somewhere back on Church Street



Running on the shadow of Silium's Hill

Six hundred miles away from home

My hands frozen on the wheel

Listen to the humming of the railway cars



Looking out over Silium's Way

There's a stranger in my place

Shoe Shine Mamma isn't here anymore

Now the old man knocks at my front door



I'll hang on tight, baby sure go for that

When the cold winds blow I'll be there

Through the wheat towns to Medicine Hat

Oh, baby will you ride with me



At the Southern Cross over Silium's Hill

Standing by the window, is that you out there

On a empty heart

With my rusty old penknife

On a frozen lamp pole I scratch her name



They could not see her on Silium's Hill

Counting the lovers that had passed her way

Sipping ambrosia on a holy night

She prayed by the water on Manitou Bay



Settle down on Silium's Hill

Make her own money and

All she ever wanted was to



Try to make her own

Wants to make a living

Spits for her money

Shoe Shine Mamma
