[Jeanway 0]

I've been looking for this song for two days. I want the lyrics. I only found a parody of it. Someone out there MUST have heard of this song before. It's driving me nuts.

 

M is for the Many things she gave me,

 

O is for the Other things she gave me,

 

T is for the Things that she gave me,

 

H is for Her things that she gave me,

 

E is for Every thing she gave me,

 

R is for the Rest of the things she gave me ....

 

 

The real song lyrics are like this........

 

M is for the Many things she gave me,

 

O is for the fact she's growing Old,

 

T is for ??? That's as far as I can remember...................

M-O-T-H-E-R

(A Word That Means The World To Me)

Lyrics by Howard Johnson and Music by Theodore Morse (1915)

 

Verse 1: I’ve been around the world, you bet, but never went to school.

Hard knocks are all I seem to get, perhaps I’ve been a fool.

But still, some educated folks, supposed to be so swell

Would fail, if they were called upon a simple word to spell.

Now if you’d like to put me to a test,

There’s one dear name that I can spell the best:

 

Chorus 1: M is for the million things she gave me,

O means only that she’s growing old,

T is for the tears were shed to save me,

H is for her heart of purest gold,

E is for her eyes with love light shining,

R means right and right she’ll always be.

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.

 

Verse 2: When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk,

While lying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk.

It wasn’t long before I spoke, and all the neighbors heard,

My folks were very proud of me, for "mother" was the word.

Although I’ll never lay a claim to fame, I’m satisfied that I can spell the name:

 

Chorus 2: M is for the mercy she possesses,

O means that I owe her all I own,

T is for her tender sweet caresses,

H is for her hands that made a home,

E means everything she’s done to help me,

R means real and regular, you see,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.
