My mother told me the day would come

When I would want to love someone

She sat me down on her knee

& this is what she said to me:

She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along

You won't necessarily be weak or strong

Your heart'll skip & your knees'll get weak

Oh you'll know he's the one when you hear him speak

& the first time he tells you you're gonna know

He was well worth waiting for

Don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry"

She said "You'll know when the right boy comes along

You won't necessarily be weak or strong"

Will he be mine? I wanna know if the boy to find

"& the only way you'll know if his love is true

Is when he's gonna tell you he'll love only you

So don't you worry, now don't you cry, don't you worry"

"All the stars in the sky gonna shine very bright

All the night in his arms hold you tight

Chapel bells gonna ring & the birds gonna sing

So till you're asking older days (remember what your mama say)"

(repeat verse 1)

Don't you worry, now don't you cry,
