| I remember my mother the day that we met | C |
| A thing I shall never entirely forget | C |
| And I toy with the fancy that young as I am | D |
| I should know her again if we met in a tram | D |
| But mother is happy in turning a crank | E |
| That increases the balance in somebody's bank | E |
| And I feel satisfaction that mother is free | F |
| From the sinister task of attending to me | F |
| - | |
| They have brightened our room that is spacious and cool | G |
| With diagrams used in the Idiot School | G |
| And Books for the Blind that will teach us to see | F |
| But mother is happy for mother is free | F |
| For mother is dancing up forty eight floors | H |
| For love of the Leeds International Stores | H |
| And the flame of that faith might perhaps have grown cold | I |
| With the care of a baby of seven weeks old | I |
| - | |
| For mother is happy in greasing a wheel | J |
| For somebody else who is cornering Steel | J |
| And though our one meeting was not very long | K |
| She took the occasion to sing me this song | K |
| O hush thee my baby the time will soon come | L |
| When thy sleep will be broken with hooting and hum | L |
| There are handles want turning and turning all day | B |
| And knobs to be pressed in the usual way | B |
| - | |
| O hush thee my baby take rest while I croon | M |
| For Progress comes early and Freedom too soon | M |
