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.
