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
