| An' Mother let me tell you has a sting in her reply | B |
| But I couldn't live without her an' it's plain as plain can be | C |
| That in fair or sunny weather Mother needs a man like me | C |
| - | |
| I've banged the door an' muttered angry words beneath my breath | D |
| For at times when she was scoldin' Mother's plagued me most to death | D |
| But we've always laughed it over when we'd both cooled down a bit | E |
| An' we never had a difference but a smile would settle it | E |
| An' if such a thing could happen we could share life's joys an' tears | F |
| An' live right on together for another thousand years | G |

| Some men give up too easy in the game o' married life | H |
| They haven't got the courage to be worthy of a wife | H |

| 'Cause they couldn't bear the burdens that are mixed with happiness | J |
| So long as folks are human they'll have many faults that jar | K |

| In the days when sorrow struck us an' we shared a common woe | M |
| We just leaned upon each other an' our weakness didn't show | M |
| An' I learned how much I need her an' how tender she can be | C |
| An' through it maybe Mother saw the better side o' me | C |
