Daniel O'Donnell Mother's Birthday Song song lyrics

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 labor 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 has changed and mother now is known as grand

And as her young grandchildren sing happy birthday dear

Mother gives them all a hug and wipes away a tear

Repeat #3 x2

That's my mother sweet mother of mine

My mother sweet mother of mine
