  • Mother of mine you gave to me, all of my life to do as I please,
    I owe everything I have to you,
    Mother sweet mother of mine.

    Mother of mine when I was young
    You showed me the right way things had to be done,
    Without your arms where would I be,
    Mother sweet mother of mine.

    Chorus:
    Mother you gave me happiness, much more than words can say,
    I thank the Lord that He may bless you, every night and every day.

    Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk straight all on my own,
    I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
    Mother sweet mother of mine.

    Chorus

    Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk straight all on my own,
    I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
    Mother sweet mother of mine.

    Mother sweet mother of mine.

  • Graham from Newark On Trent, United KingdomIn my opinion this is the worst song of all time. I was 10 years old when Neil Reid was in the charts with this and I remember being torn between laughing at it or turning it off. I couldn't understand why a kid would want to sing about the love of his mother. It was embarassing. Most kids in my day has a healthy dis-respect for authority figures whether they be parents or otherwise. Hardly surprising Neil Reid faded away. I wonder whatever became of him???


    and I just wanted to laugh at it or turm it off.



    Not just myself but most of the kids I went to school with found this just plain embarassing.

  • Jennifer from Epsom, United KingdomI have had this song on my mind recently for whatever reason - maybe because I have two boys of my own. I fell in love with Neil Reid when he was on Opportunity Knocks and I am interested to know what he is doing now. My mother loved the song so maybe I will get her copy just to let her know how much she is appreciated. Maybe my boys will do that for me one day!!!!

I have since then been successful in getting the original version by Neil Reid.It does bring back so many memories of childhood.
