Look at her, my Friend said

Pointing down the Road

You can tell by how she looks

She wears a heavy load.

So we stood and watched her

Didn't say a Word.

But she must have read our troughts

For this is what we heard.

Union Silver has taken my whole Life

Irom my teens to the sixty years I'm living now.

Lord have mercy on me

Come and look upon me

Make a smile Show once more on my Face

Union Silver is gone before it's made

And I can feel my Shoes won't wear the Winter cold.

Can you tell me my Friend

Where it's goin to End,

Cause Union Silver doesn't want to know.

Then we walked on by her

Ileaving her alone

Not a word was spoken as we made our may back home.

Till this Day I see her.

See her standing there

A mining Town, a miners Wife

With coal Dust in her Hair.
