Their was this mother that I know
She lived in a world that was going slow
A world stuck in the worst kind of war
It would leave her empty and very poor
She had three great kids and thats hard to please
Named Eilif, Kattrin, and Swiss Cheese
She had to provide for them and had to play it smart
So she traveled around selling goods from her cart
Now I know your thinking this story is simple and not sad
They added Eilif to the army and thats where it started to go bad
He killed a lot of things including peasents and cattle
He laughed and joked and blamed it all on the battle
Soon he got caught and had to pay for his crimes
He was instantly executed, no doing hard time
Swiss cheeses tail is still worst then all that
He is shot by the catholics left lying their flat
Now Mother courage just has one kid left
A daughter that has commited no theft
commited no crimes and as fair as could be
It just those two left in this horrible sea
This sea of destruction and this sea of pain
It was only those two left till the solidiers came
They shot Kattrin dead and left mother alone
Now she just wanders all on her own
