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
