Mother, I'm sorry I wandered away,
Breaking your heart as I did.
Now that I'm grown up, I've come back to say
Things that I felt as a kid, Dear.

Mother of mine, when friends all doubt me,
I still have you, somehow you're just the same.
Mother divine, with your arms around me,
I know I'm not to blame.

When skies are sunny, ain't it funny,
That's when my pals all want me.
When things go wrong and they don't want me,
Mother, I still have you.

Mother of mine, when friends all doubt me,
I still have you. Somehow, you're just the same.
Mother divine, with your arms about me,
I know I'm not to blame.

Gee, ain't it funny, when skies are sunny,
That's when my pals, they haunt me.
And when things go wrong and they don't want me,
Mother, I still have you.
