The mother smiles at the boy
And dies of White Death
Coal still yawns in the hills of
Johnstown, Pennsylvania
Later the boy is told what
Happened to her - He will not
Let them take her away in
The horse drawn hearse
At night he sneaks outside
To chop down its wheels
With a blue axe - The boy
Feels the gaze of his mother
Coal still yawns in the hills of
Johntown, Pennsylvania
