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 should be done.

        Without your love, where would I be.

        Mother, sweet mother of mine.

        Mother, you gave me happiness

        much more than words can say.

        I pray the Lord that He may bless 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.
