My Mother's Little Hairs
White hair, that's my mother’s
Threads of silver, they’re sacred
Her smooth hands would caress me
That afternoon when I walked away
Her sad eyes
Oh, they looked at me
When I left my sweet home
Beloved neighborhood
Soulful neighborhood
Take care of my mother, I’ll be back
Today, I’m feeling so down
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can’t
I’m so far away
All I have left
Is to cry
Little white hairs
My mother’s little hairs
Today, I’m feeling so down
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can’t
I’m so far away
All I have left
Is to cry
Today, I’m feeling so down
I want to be close to my mother
But, oh, I can’t
I’m so far away
All I have left
Is to cry
White hair
That’s my mother’s
Humm-mm, mm-mm
