[Verse 1]
Hold on to your son
Lest he should be forsaken
Keep strong, stay strong
Before long they will be gone
[Chorus]
Few and far between
Are the ones yet so dear to me
Hold that child to your breast
What they don't know they don't know they never will guess
[Verse 2]
Stand by your sister, keep by her side
Your blood is thin still the lineage abides
No coils, no enmities
Enmity binds but your arteries are tied
[Chorus]
Few and far between
Are the ones yet so dear to me
Hold that child to your breast
What they don't know they don't know they never will guess
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 3]
Hold on to your son lest he should be forsaken
Keep strong, stay strong
Before long they will be gone
[Chorus]
Few and far between
Are the ones yet so dear to me
Hold that child to your breast
What they don't know they don't know they never will guess
Oh
Oh
Oh
