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
