She is my flower and she blooms for the one who loves her bestThe miners stop to watch her when she walksThey know her love is not for sale, she will never fail because I knowI watched her grow, the mother of a miner's childAwaits for me beside the kitchen doorShe is my light in this place where the darkness never endsShe'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bendShe's the only one who'll listen when I tell herI've got a dreamI've got less than I can spendShe knows the painOh, mother of a miner's childWash away the coal dust from my faceWhen the night shift's doneShe'll be waiting by the table when I comeSearching for another dream to chaseOh, mother of a miner's childI know that you still think about the dayWhen we'll be moving onRemember, dear old daddyAnd the promise that I made to carry onSometimes I smileIn the cage where the cables softly hummumI curse that old straw boss to the boneBut the mother of a miner's childIs waiting for her paycheck to come homeCome SaturdayAnd here's just a miner's boyI hope that he will find a better wayTo live in peace and do прилiigOne day in a blue and whiteI know you don't understandI'll fail if they're the kidsI've gotta find out why's that so hard to sayyou
