Mother of mine you gave to me
All of my life to do as I please
I owe everything I have to you
Mother sweet mother of mine

Mother of mine when I was young
You showed me the right way things had to be done
Without your arms where would I be
Mother sweet mother of mine

Mother you gave me happiness
Much more than words can say
I thank the lord let me breath with you
Every night and every day

Mother of mine now I am grown
And I can walk straight all on my own
I'd like to give you what you gave to me
Mother sweet mother of mine

Mother of mine now I am grown
And I can walk straight all on my own
I'd like to give you what you gave to me
Mother sweet mother of mine
Mother sweet mother of mine
