about

An imagined musing, based around the notion of a day in the life of a miner's wife. Being underground was hard and back breaking work, often done in long shifts. Meanwhile the housewife remains at home - dutiful and doting, convincing herself that she is content in their simple and hard working existence. But secretly she yearns for an easier, more affluent life.

lyrics

My man rolls in
My man rolls in
I wanna be there to warm his feet
When my man rolls in

Out at six
Yes he’s out at six
Up before the lark and he gets home after dark
Then he’s out again at six

Me I keep good time
Put his clothes out on the line
Keep a tidy house
Put the food into his mouth and mine

Since knee high
Known him since knee high
Born across the roof from each other, that’s the truth
Known him since knee high

And he’s black as pitch
Yes he’s black as pitch
Twelve hours digging coal, stuck inside a dusty hole
Then he’s black as pitch

Once he said to me
We’re lucky just to be
We don’t need for much
Just each other that’s enough for me

And he loves me so
Says he loves me so
Does it all for me, and why should I disagree
Coz I love him so

I would live a lie
If I said I wouldn’t like
Just a little piece
Where the rainbow meets the sweet sunshine
