Mother Nature's Son

Beatles · The Beatles (The White Album)

Born a poor young country boy
Mother Nature's Son
All day long I'm sitting
singing songs for every one

Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty
sound of music as she flies
tu tu tu, tu, du tu

Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's Son
swaying daisies sing
a lazy song beneath the sun
tu tu, yeah yeah yeah

Ooo
Ooo
Ah, Mother Nature's Son

Mother Nature's Son

Released on The Beatles' 1968 White Album, 'Mother Nature's Son' stands as a rare acoustic track within the group's electric-heavy output. Recorded during the band's experimental period, the song features John Lennon's distinctive vocal delivery and acoustic guitar work, offering a stark contrast to the studio innovations and complex arrangements found elsewhere on the record. The track reflects the band's evolving songwriting dynamics and their willingness to explore folk-influenced textures alongside their signature rock sound. As part of the White Album's diverse catalogue, it remains a notable example of the group's ability to blend personal expression with collective musical exploration during a pivotal era in popular music history.
