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


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
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
