Yeah, I like your interpretation about the mother dying at birth. He obviously had the kid when he was too young, and wasn't ready for that type of commitment. He tried to raise him right but he himself hasn't grown up yet.
He's rolling through the streets looking for his son, who is presumably now involved in a gang. At the end of the song, he looks down into a coffin, or "pine box", to identify the body of his dead son.
Fucking sad ending, I must say.
@kid1 Friend, your candid and soft interpretation has no echoes in regards what Morrissey is trying to reveal. It's all about a rough trade. Words such as 'son' or 'kid' is poetry. He's obviously omitting the word 'man', 'bloke'. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
