Lyrics for Song: Mother
Lyrics for Album: Shaved Fish
Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Mama don't go
Daddy come home
(repeat 9 more times)

Mother - John Lennon
John Lennon's 'Mother' stands as a poignant addition to his discography, reflecting his deep familial connections and spiritual outlook. Recorded for the 1974 album Shaved Fish, the track exemplifies the introspective and folk-rock sensibilities that characterized Lennon's work during this period. The song serves as a tender tribute to his mother, Julia Lennon, exploring themes of maternal love and the enduring impact of family on one's identity. Through its acoustic arrangement and Lennon's characteristic vocal delivery, the recording captures a moment of quiet reflection, distinguishing it from his more politically charged or experimental compositions. It remains a significant piece within his broader catalog, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal dimensions of his artistry beyond his public persona. |
