I never seen December
Look this bad before
The paper mill is closing
Death is on our shore
Mines are slowly turning
Brothers don't come home
Father lies still coughing
Releasing us a moan
Oh mother of mine
Release us from evil, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
Your children are bleeding, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
We stood by our union
Holding up the flag
The union stood by watching
While we buried dad
Mother doesn't talk now
Only to her soul
Children hungry children
Let the people know
Oh mother of mine
Your children are bleeding, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
Release us from evil, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
Christmas was upon us
Everyone was there
Christmas was upon us
We've nothing left to share
The church was holding sermon
Ringing out a bell
We all prayed for mercy
Take us from this hell
Oh mother of mine
Release us from evil, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
Your children are bleeding, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
Your children are bleeding, please show us a sign
Oh mother of mine
