MOTHER O' MINE

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

_Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!_

I know whose love would follow me still,

_Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!_

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

_Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!_

I know whose tears would come down to me,

_Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!_

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

_Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!_
