Chorus:
  D                G          D
My mother was a weed sergeant too
                               A
She would mow most every summer day
      D                G         D
An integral part of Dad's mowing crew
                              A        D
Holding, smoking her cigarette all the way

Flowery house dress, bandana on forehead
On those hot, sultry summer days
Quarter-mile rows dark green Christmas Trees
Down one row, then back the other way
    G                                D
Brown dust settled on her weathered, pretty face
                                          A
Stopping only to gas up, and wipe away the sweat
      D                       G           D
Ah yes, my lovely, determined weed mowing mother
                             A      D
I can see her lovely, smiling face yet.
