The news came I was far away
That you were sick oh my my it was Mothers Day
With tears running down my face
You said boy don't be scared just be brave
So low, so high
That's the way of this life
It's tempestuous at times
So low, so high
Oh mother dear I'm smiling by your side
And you lost your hair
And you were beautiful despite your big old ears
And you pushed right on through
Yeah you're a tough old bird that's the god's honest truth
So low, so high
That's the way of this life
It's tempestuous at times
So low, so high
Oh mother dear I'm smiling by your side
So low, so high
That's the way of this life
It's tempestuous at times
So low, so high
Oh mother dear I'm smiling by your side
