Mr. Shucks was a doll Mother made for me
Just an old sock stuffed with corn husks, you see
Corn silks she glued to his head for hair
One by one, went away due to wear
And due to love, due to love
Mother made for me
Mother made for me
My favorite quilt Mother made for me
She used what she gathered for cheap or for free
Like scraps from the shirts she made Daddy to wear
I carried that quilt till the cloth was threadbare
Due to love, due to love
Mother made for me
Mother made for me
I look at the things Mother made for me
Hanging on walls or our Christmas tree
Corn husks will crumble and fabrics will fade
What lasts forever is time Mother made
Due to love, due to love
Mother made for me
Mother made for me
The time she made for me
