Song
Mother Nature's Son
Release date: 22 November 1968
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 daisies sing a lazy song beneath the sun.
Mother Nature's son.
"Mother Nature's Son" is a Lennon-McCartney song, written primarily by Paul McCartney and released by the Beatles on The Beatles (The White Album). It was inspired by a lecture given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi while the Beatles were in India. The same lecture inspired Lennon's unreleased song "Child of Nature", the tune of which he later re-used for "Jealous Guy". The song was later covered by Harry Nilsson.
