Heah, my mother lies
 Sleeping on the bedroom floor
 Nothing will move her
 Solid, stiff
 
 Age has its beauty
 Indeed on my creed
 Yet, when it comes to sacks
 Full of wobbly potatoes 
 
 Where is my handle?
 My mother love?
 Nothing makes her stand
 I, too, age
 
 Nothing do I have
 To raise her from the floor 
 O Lord, I, too, age
 My muscles share me no more.
