Mother's Birthday Song

She sits there in the corner in that old easy chair Grand children all around her not a worry or a care Mother's birthday is today but she won't tell her age She just smiles and winks and says I've turned another page As we sat there talking as conversation flowed The memories came flooding back of days so long ago When she worked in the fields with Dad from morning until dusk Raising a big family on hard work, love and trust Everybody's loved one, everybody's had one I hope that you'll have yours a long, long time She brought us all into this world A lady with a heart of gold, Mother, sweet mother of mine I remember well my younger days working on the farm She always said hard labour never done you any harm And she'd never go to sleep at night cause sometimes we'd be late Dedicated Mother who didn't mind the wait Now a whole new generation is part of God's great plan It's meant her name has changed and Mother now is known as Gran And as her young grandchildren sing happy birthday dear Mother gives them all a hug and wipes away a tear Everybody's loved one, everybody's had one I hope that you'll have yours a long, long time She brought us all into this world A lady with a heart of gold, mother, sweet mother of mine Yes everybody's loved one, everybody's had one I hope that you'll have yours a long, long time She brought us all into this world, a lady with a heart of gold Mother, sweet mother of mine That’s my Mother, sweet Mother of mine My Mother, sweet Mother of mine
