Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me,
A daughter-in-law, you failed to see,
A daughter-in-law, a servant you'd decree,
Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me.
Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me.
Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me.

Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me,
Since I crossed your threshold, peace eluded me,
Oh, since I crossed your threshold, peace eluded me,
My words unheard, your will was all that be,
Mother-in-law, your worth, you failed to see.

Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me,
Abuse you hurled, a whip's harsh decree,
Oh, false accusations you laid on me,
Today, to all, your cruelties I'll decree,
Mother-in-law, your worth, you failed to see.

Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me,
Hell's house I made to bloom, to be,
Service I gave, each need did I see,
Oh, won all hearts with love, yet distant to thee,
Mother-in-law, your worth, you failed to see.
A daughter-in-law, you failed to see,
A daughter-in-law, a servant you'd decree,
Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me.
Mother-in-law, you saw no worth in me.
