Mother Nature's Son
Beatlejazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born a poor young country boy
Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.
Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.





Mother Nature's son.
