Lyrics
may your healthy sons always be around, lending you their backs, tying up your gown, bringing you your pills, driving you to town. may your healthy sons have college degrees, have a way with words so no one disagrees, round about your table like young olive trees. may your healthy sons not leave you for dead, remembering when you sang to them in bed, and when they skinned their knees you kissed them on the head.
