Hey mother, thank you for the time
For giving me your shoulder, to lean on

I know you've had a hard life
And took your share of falls
And I know we all struggled
When the old man lost his job

And nothing, nothing can take away this "mother song"
So when you listen, please let it put your soul at ease

Well I can still remember
The things you use to say
"Son always be humble"
And good things will come your way

And I know you've had a hard time
Sending me on my way
And I know you still worry
Almost every single day

And nothing, nothing can take away this "mother Song", oh
So when you listen, please let it put your soul at ease
Your soul at ease, yeah
And nothing, nothing can take away this "mother Song", no
So when you listen, please let it put your soul at ease
