about

For dad

lyrics

I was just a silver miner’s daughter
Raised in a shack 20 miles from the border
There was hardship and pain
But we were free to wander to the plains

I was just a silver miner’s child
Born to the dust of the land so red and wild
We were poor as mud
But we were wrapped in golden love

We’d spend our nights round the burnin’ fire
Singin’ to the tunes of the union choir
Oh, such is the life of a silver miner

I was just a silver miner’s daughter
Dad worked hard to make a livin’ dollar
Mum would do the sums
The lead dust filled his lungs

We’d spend our nights round the burnin’ fire
Singin’ to the tunes of the union choir
Oh, such is the life of a silver miner
Oh, such is the life of a silver miner
