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 because 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 peace

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 moving 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 because I know

I watch her grow

And the mother of a miner's child

Waits for me beside the kitchen door
