Their name recalls King's College in Cambridge, England, where the group was formed by six choral scholars in 1968.

Mother Nature's Son
The King's Singers 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.
