She's left to rear a child because of war
Sadly alone
Works hard to clothe and feed her little son
Give him a home

She works all night into the early morn
Streets cold and damp
Stands at the corner near the Pig and Gun
Lit by a lamp

Break

She has to work hard to scrimp and save
Or he will go
Go to a home somewhere far away
She loves him so

Tired but she knows that it's the only way
She wanders home
Home to the child that's sleeping sound and warm
Never a moan

"Pity the Mother" is the third original composition on the album, written by Holder and Lea, together for the first time, who both went on to write the majority of Slade’s material. The song features the use of electric violin, played by Lea.
Allmsuic.com wrote "The songwriting duties are split between well-executed covers and full band compositions - the Noddy Holder/Jim Lea team of future renown has still to crystallize itself, and their one joint effort, the hauntingly folky Pity the Mother, has little in common with anything the future held." Allmusic.com also wrote "Listen to how musical the Holder/Lea original Pity the Mother is to hear how inspired and truly underrated these artists were and still are."
