Текст песни: A Song for My Mother + перевод

Don’t you ever take a stranger’s hand

Or leave your clothes out in the rain

Keep the darks from the lights, hang 'em neatly to dry

Don’t leave your bed undone, you’re not yet free to roam

Keep your sisters in your hearts

Your little brothers in your arms

And don’t you forget the way home

Don’t turn your hearts against me now

Cause my love’s spread so thin

Of you there are many and me I’m just me

And my love’s spread so thin, so thin

Through a mother’s eyes it’s a big bad world

It ain’t a pretty place for all my pretty little girls

So when I tell you no, when I hold you back

There’s a good reason why, you must know that

Keep your sisters in your hearts

Your little brothers in your arms

And don’t you forget the way home

Don’t turn your hearts against me now

Cause my love’s spread so thin

Of you there are many and me I’m just me

And my love’s spread so thin, so thin

Mama teach me how to cook, I need to feed my family some day

Mama teach me how to sew, the clothes on my back may be the best friends I’ll

have

Mama teach me how to trust, I wanna love a man some day

Mama teach me how to hold my tongue

And learn to just wait for the world to just turn

Keep your sisters in your hearts

Your little brothers in your arms

And don’t you forget the way home
