(You got that right),"It is simply amazing and unpredictable what one can discover on the internet!!"
'Mother Of A Miners Child', alway's loved that one, especially the way he begins it. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be able to say that about there Mother, especially on Mother's Day, and then again No, on every day of your mother's Life...Jesse.
"La mere est le coeur du foyer." Ask John Fowles he will translate that for those who dont understand...
Mother Of A Miner's Child, ©1972 by Gordon Lightfoot
{She is my flower
And she blooms for the one who loves her best}
The miners stop to watch her as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause I know
I watched 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
Wash away the coal dust from my face
When the night shift's done
She'll be waiting by the table when I come
Searching 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 her as she walks
They know her love is not for sale
She will never fail me 'cause I know
I watched her grow
And the mother of a miner's child
Waits for me beside the kitchen door
