[00:00.00]Mother of a Miner's Child (Lp Version) - Gordon Lightfoot
[00:04.90]She is my flower
[00:07.97]And she blooms for the one who loves her best
[00:13.71]The miners stop to watch as she walks
[00:18.88]They know her love is not for sale
[00:21.92]She will never fail me because I know
[00:26.02]I watch her grow
[00:29.43]And the mother of a miner's child
[00:32.03]Waits for me beside the kitchen door
[00:38.89]She is my light
[00:41.80]In this place where the darkness never ends
[00:47.26]She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend
[00:52.63]She's the only one who listens when I tell her
[00:56.04]I got less than I can spend
[00:59.64]She knows the peace
[01:02.94]Oh mother of a miner's child
[01:05.87]Wash away the coal dust from my face
[01:18.06]When the night shift's done
[01:20.93]She'll be waiting by the table when I come
[01:26.82]Searching for another dream to chase
[01:31.85]Oh mother of a miner's child
[01:34.49]I know that you still think about the day
[01:38.65]When we'll be moving on
[01:42.56]Remember dear old daddy and
[01:45.07]The promise that I made to carry on
[01:52.20]Sometimes I smile
[01:55.14]In the cage where the cables softly hum
[02:00.76]I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone
[02:06.10]But the mother of a miner's child
[02:08.78]Is waiting for her paycheck to come home
[02:13.18]Come saturday
[02:16.61]And he is just a miner's boy
[02:19.21]I hope that he will find a better way
[02:31.70]She is my flower
[02:34.55]And she blooms for the one who loves her best
[02:40.28]The miners stop to watch as she walks
[02:45.52]They know her love is not for sale
[02:48.45]She will never fail me because I know
[02:52.64]I watch her grow
[02:56.05]And the mother of a miner's child
[02:58.71]Waits for me beside the kitchen door
