about

1900 – Cora Millay (mother) divorces, and moves with her three daughters to Camden, Maine. Cora works as a traveling nurse and is often away for weeks on end, leaving ‘Vincent’ to care for her younger sisters.

lyrics

Draw the shutters, close the light
keep quiet as the moon stay out of sight
there's a man at the door he's calling her name
This isn't a joke this isn't a game

O Mother you're gone now we try to behave
We pretend in church we can't hear what they say
But when the sun goes down this town is changed
And men with drink come by calling your name

Sisters, sisters, stay out of the light
I know this man I know his plight
He stays up with Mother drinking whiskey
He snuck into my room once and kissed me

Mother, mother your daughters are alone
Oh mother, mother when will you come home?
It's a sweet little town on the cost of Maine
But we're too young to be alone this way.
