The Bletherin - Salt

She wakes again at four
By half past, she's out the door
A rainy day in May
Cleaning up, on minimum wage

You won't hear Mary gripe
She's worked hard all her life
Kids need food and love
Whatever she does, is never enough

Oh how Mary tried
Torn apart inside
A brave face, none-the-less
Our Mary, salt of the earth

She left school at 15
For a life she's never seen
Her husband always knew best
He's no good, like all the rest

One day Mary felt unwell
Fever burning, hot as hell
Paramedic took her away
Our Mary died the next day

Oh how Mary cried
Torn apart inside
A brave face, none-the-less
Our Mary, salt of the earth

Oh how Mary cried
Torn apart inside
A brave face to her end
Our Mary, salt of the earth
Our Mary, salt of the earth
Salt
