SHE WAS HER MOTHER'S ONLY DAUGHTER
WITH TENDER LOVING WAYS
AND A SWEET AND LOVING SPIRIT
THAT WAS WITH HER ALL HER DAYS.
AND HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH.

BLUE WAS HER FAVORITE COLOR
THE COLOR GOD MADE THE SKY
AND THE BEAUTY OF A ROSE
COULD BRING TEARS TO HER EYES.
AND HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH.

SHE TREATED US ALL WITH TENDERNESS
AND ALWAYS KEPT US NEAR.
SHE LOVED AS ONLY A MOTHER CAN LOVE
AND WIPED  AWAY ALL OUR TEARS.
AND HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH.

WHEN WE WERE SICK AND FRETFUL
SHE WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT
BY TENDERLY TOUCHING OUR FACE AND SAYING I LOVE YOU.
AND KISSING  EACH OF US GOOD NITE.
AND HER NAME WAS ELIZABETH.
