Mother, oh mother

Why do you weep?

You husband's at work

Children fast asleep



Mother, oh mother,

Did I do something bad?

I'll fix the problem

If you stop being so sad



Mother, oh mother,

Please tell me what's wrong

What caused so much pain

And emotions so strong?



Mother, oh mother,

I'll be good, I swear

Just because I'm young

Doesn't mean I don't care,

Aww so sad... May I ask why she was sad, or is that too personal?
