Lyrics adapted for Mother's Day
[Verse1]
GChildren, Come Dlisten to Gme
GI’m just a lonely Dminstrel as Gyou can see.
CI have no worldly goods to Gpass along
CAll I can give you is a Gpassing song
No buildings Dnamed for me
Just lasting CharmonyD  
I give you GmusicD  C  D  
[Chorus1]
GI give you music, just like my DMOTHER did
And just like GHER MOTHER before HER, a pCrecious gift
GThere’s nothing quite as strong as the Dfeeling in a Csong
I give you GmusicD  C  D  
[Verse2]
GNow I don’t think Dmyself a Gspecial breed
GI’m just a common DMAN that Gfills a need
CTo sing of war and peace and Gright and wrong
CGive me attention and I’ll Gsing you a song
To Dhave and hold, richer than Cdiamonds or Ggold
I give you GmusicD  C  D

GI give you music, just like my DMOTHER did
And just like GHER MOTHER before HER, a pCrecious gift
GThere’s nothing quite as strong as the Dfeeling in a Csong

[Chorus3]
GI give you music, just like my DMOTHER did
And just like GHER MOTHER before HER, a pCrecious gift
GThere’s nothing quite as strong as the Dfeeling in a Csong
