As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial

In the days when I was young
Earliest memories just begun
Kitchen table stories told
Mother’s words precious like gold
Punchline falls, laughter filling up the house
I loved those days, I miss those days

As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial

Tellin’ tales o’ backyard
When life was sweet but oh so hard
Working ground to get paid
Ya man, breadfruit, sugar cane
All da while she would be singin’ out her heart
She left us joy, she left us joy!


As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
As my mother woulda said
Anybody ever seen my trial
