Born a poor young country boy
Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Mother Nature's son.

    General Comment:"All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone" is almost certainly something Paul did a lot of when the Beatles were in India.

    General Comment:Wasn't this supposed to be an ironic take on hippies? Or was Sir Paul so stoned that he actually meant it?

    General Comment:I was surprised there weren't more posts for this song as well. Not a big Sir Paul fan, but this song is very good. The guitar part is easy to play and will impress your friends.
