Birthright

Moments after I was born
The mine blew on her mournful horn.
As if to say ‘You are my son
Of this I do you warn’.

‘Son of mine will come the time
You’ll try to walk on free.
But son of mine from this time
You belong to me’

‘Within your veins the coal dust flows
Come down the mine for you know
Son of mine you are mine
For all eternity’.
