Gordon Lightfoot - Mother Of A Miner's Child

Gordon Lightfoot

Mother Of A Miner's Child

She is my flower
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
The miners stop to watch as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause I know
I watch her grow
And the mother of a miner's child
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
She is my light
In this place where the darkness never ends
She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend
She's the only one who listens when I tell her
I got less than I can spend
She knows the pace
Oh mother of a miner's child
Was away the coal dust from my face

When the night shift's done
She'll be waiting by the table when I come
Searchin' for another dream to chase
Oh mother of a miner's child
I know that you still think about the day
When we'll be movin' on
Remember dear old daddy and
The promise that I made to carry on

Sometimes I smile
In the cage where the cables softly hum
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone
But the mother of a miner's child
Is waiting for her paycheck to come home
Come saturday
And he is just a miner's boy
I hope that he will find a better way

She is my flower
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
The miners stop to watch as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause I know
I watch her grow
And the mother of a miner's child
Waits for me beside the kitchen door

Mirror lyrics:

Waits for me beside the kitchen door
And the mother of a miner's child
I watch her grow
She will never fail me 'cause I know
They know her love is not for sale
The miners stop to watch as she walks
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
She is my flower

I hope that he will find a better way
And he is just a miner's boy
Come saturday
Is waiting for her paycheck to come home
But the mother of a miner's child
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone
In the cage where the cables softly hum
Sometimes I smile

The promise that I made to carry on
Remember dear old daddy and
When we'll be movin' on
I know that you still think about the day
Oh mother of a miner's child
Searchin' for another dream to chase
She'll be waiting by the table when I come
When the night shift's done

Was away the coal dust from my face
Oh mother of a miner's child
She knows the pace
I got less than I can spend
She's the only one who listens when I tell her
She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend
In this place where the darkness never ends
She is my light
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
And the mother of a miner's child
I watch her grow
She will never fail me 'cause I know
They know her love is not for sale
The miners stop to watch as she walks
And she blooms for the one who loves her best
She is my flower
