Ballad
Mother Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When first I came to this fair land
And stepped onto the shore
I knelt right there upon the sand
And raised my hands to the lord
For milk and honey floweth here
And plenty to go around
I’ll find a job and stake my claim
And finally settle down

Ya, I’ll settle down
I’ll find a goodly wife that I can
Care for and adore
We’ll raise a brood up on dry land
And I’ll go to the sea no more
So into town I took my coin
To celebrate my luck
I drank with pretty women and
They drank my stories up
I rolled the dice round once or twice
With the local governor
He took my last farthing as tax
And he tossed me out the door
And I don’t remember anymore
Til I woke upon the docks to find
That I was sick and poor
Old Whaling Jack, pick up your sack

And return to the sea once more
Yo Ho!

Overall Meaning

The song "Ballad" by Mother's song is about a man who has come to a new land in search of a better life. The man is grateful for the opportunities that abound in this new place and looks forward to settling down with a good wife and raising a family. However, things don't go as planned because after celebrating his arrival to the new land with some drinking and gambling, he loses everything he has to the local governor who demands a tax payment. The man, now broke and sick, realizes that his only choice is to go back to sea with Old Whaling Jack.

The lyrics of this song highlight the challenges faced by people who leave their homelands to start a new life in a foreign land. The song also stresses the importance of making wise choices and being prepared to deal with unexpected setbacks. The lyrics show the ups and downs of life and how it can change within a short time. The song also portrays the harsh realities of the world where the poor, like the singer in the song, are taken advantage of by the rich and powerful.

When first I came to this fair land
When I first arrived in this beautiful country

And stepped onto the shore
And set foot on the sandy beach

I knelt right there upon the sand
I kneeled down on the sand

And raised my hands to the lord
And lifted my hands to God

For milk and honey floweth here
Because this land is abundant and prosperous

And plenty to go around
And there is enough for everyone

I’ll find a job and stake my claim
I will find work and make this land my own

And finally settle down
And then I can finally rest

Ya, I’ll settle down
Yes, I will make this my home

I’ll find a goodly wife that I can
I will find a good wife whom I can

Care for and adore
Love and cherish
