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!
