Thread Name: ADD:Overweight & turning grey, Happy, Mother's Day
Subject: WRITER REQ: Mother's Day Song
I think I requested this last year and did not see a reply. About 10 years ago, I was listening to a DC radio folk program (Lee Michael Dempsey (?) on WAMU). I heard the following song by a female singer whom I believe was from Canada. She had recently published a recording of mothers' songs. It was quite simple and I have used it many times by simply making it a Father's Day song.

Overweight and turning gray. Happy, happy Mother's Day.(2X)

Was it worth it? I don't know. Really isn't much to show.(2X)

Except two little human beings, sweeter than my wildest dreams. (2X)

Repeat first verse.

I want to know who the woman is who wrote the song so I can give her proper credit when I sing it.
