A Mother’s Love

Lyrics

In this place certain men should hide their face The way they treat their mother is a disgrace In this place certain men should hide their face The way they treat their mother is a disgrace Neglect the old lady for donkey years When she dead they shedding crocodiles' tears And spending money like hell To buy a casket big like Hilton Hotеl But when their mother was alivе, they didn't know she then Is night clubs and brothels they money used to spend They used to carry on, but now that she's gone Them hypocrites does weep and mourn But if you are lucky and you still have your mummy Remember what Sparrow say Forget them jagabats and all them jezebel And make sure your mummy okay So indiscreet, some of them drunk in the street And they ma have nothing to eat Buying company every day, they in a spree And their mummy belly empty I know a man, he join he wife one night to cuss he mother Two weeks later he end up in Carrera When she dead he start to moan and shout I wish the dead could a-wake up and bust he damn mouth When his mother was in need, he never paid a heed And she used to eat the bread the devil knead It was so unfair, I mean a postcard once a year To pretend he's so sincere Though she don't need a lot please give her what you got Whether you're rich or you're poor, I say Not only on her birthday, no that isn't the way Every day should be Mother's Day Oh no, don't neglect your mummy so Don't leave her in tears and sorrow Don't forget, boy, you owe her the respect That all good mothers should get You got to make it a point of duty Try your best to see that she's always happy Not like those who pay the doctor bill Only to make sure that their name come out in she will Oh you drove her out of mind, you treated her unkind How could you be so blind to leave your ma to pine The pain she had to bear to bring you safely here And now you don't really care You treated her crude, and for your ingratitude Someday you will have to pay Because retribution meets every man Who treats his mummy that way My friend, tell me why do you pretend To remember your mother when? Why do you mourn when she's buried all alone And no longer can she return? The Lord above will take care of her up there But your obligation lies right here It's unkind to leave her undone Don't be a blased ungrateful son Now after all is said and done, I'm warning every son Please give your mama your love and affection Try to understand, she did the best she can So now give her a helping hand I say you cannot repay even until your dying day Though you may own the stars and moon above You'll be a very lucky fella if you still have the treasure As the wealth of a mother's love
