Songs That Mention Mother, Mom

[Pea-n-Me]

Love... Hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop... Well good morning mom
Love... get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell
Cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old time dances

Sung by Bruce Johnston, songwriter

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
(Shaft)
Right on

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
(Then we can dig it)

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah

“Mama, He’s Crazy” - The Judds

Mama, I found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight and so unlike
Any man I've known…
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me
Oh mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me

“Meanwhile, Back at Mama’s” - Tim McGraw

Meanwhile back at Mama's
The porch lights on, come on in if you wanna
Suppers on the stove, and beer's in the fridge
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
Games on the tube and daddy smoked cigarettes
Whiskey keeps his whistle wet
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss
In a world gone crazy as this…

“Mama’s Broken Heart” - Miranda Lambert

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name 'til the neighbours called the cops
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don't know what I did next; all I know, I couldn't stop
Word got around to the barflies and the Baptists
My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it
Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look
Go and fix your makeup girl, it's just a breakup
Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

”Coat of Many Colors” - Dolly Parton

Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the Bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me…

“In the Ghetto” - Elvis Presley

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)…

“You Never Even Call Me By My Name (The Perfect Country & Western Song)“ - David Allen Coe

I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in the pickup truck
She got ran over by a darned old train.
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain
You don't have to call me darlin' darlin'
You never even call me....
Well I wonder why you don't call me...
Why don't you ever call me by my name…

“Fancy” - Reba McEntire

I remember it all very well, lookin' back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least, we were hard pressed
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And then she painted my eyes and lips, then I stepped into a satin
Dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down -
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for what I do
But if you want out, well, it's up to you
Now don't let me down
Your mama's gonna move you uptown…

Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down"

"Coal Miner's Daughter," Loretta Lynn
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain, there was no need
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way...

"The Glamorous Life" from A Little Night Music
Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives—
Keep the house and sweep the parlor,
Mend the clothes and tend the children.
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives,
Make the beds and bake the pies
And wither on the vine…
Not mine...

"At the Ballet" from A Chorus Line
When he proposed he informed my mother
He was probably her very last chance.
...
Mother always said I'd be very attractive
When I grew up, when I grew up.
"Diff'rent," she said, "With a special something
And a very, very personal flair."
...
I mean I was born to save their marriage
but when my father came to pick my mother up
at the hospital
he said, "Well, I thought this was going to help.
but I guess it's not..."

"Let It Be," The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be...

"Wake Up Little Susie," The Everly Brothers
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa?
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say
"Ooh, la, la"?

"Que Sera, Sera," Doris Day
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me...
