Farewell sweet mother,
Weep not, weep not now for me,
Though my soul must wander hither,
Weep not mother now for me
Soon with an angel band,
I will wander hand in hand,
To a fair and radiant land
Where I will wait for thee
Refrain:
Farewell sweet mother,
Weep not, weep not now for me;
Though my soul must wander hither,
Weep not mother now for me. |
Farewell sweet mother,
Every night I’ve dreamed of thee,
And thy voice was soft and gentle,
Saying pleasant things to me
While you these vigils keep,
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Mother tell me why you weep,
Oh! weep not now for me
Refrain: |
