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
Mothеr o' mine, O mother o' mine!
