I believe this song is about the bond between a child and mother, and an allegory to the feelings of first love.
The first verse is to reminisce of how a mother can calm a child.
It seems as if at one point she may have passed, or, another female in his life is comparitive to the love his mother may have brought him.
She began my heart a-beating
She began my mind a-lovin'
She starts my hands a-feelin'
She's as much of me as I am
Bring her back
O please bring her back
^ Only a mother can begin a heart beat, or hands to feel, etc. The same can be said for a first love.
