A Mother's Love
(1)An Irish boy was leaving,(4) leaving his own native(1) home
(4)Crossing the broad (1)Atlantic,(6m) once more he wished to(5) roam
(1)And as he was leaving his mother,(4) while standing on the(1) key
(4)She threw her arms(1)around his neck and(5)these were the words she(1) said
Chorus
(1)A mother's love's a blessing no(4) matter where you(1) roam
(4)Keep her while she's (1)living you'll (6m)miss her when shes (5)gone
(1)Love her as in childhood though (4)feeble, old and (1)grey
(4)For you'll never miss your(1)mother's love till she's(5)buried beneath the(1) clay
(1)And as the years go onward,(4) I'll settle down in(1) life
(4)I'll find a nice young (1)Irish girl, and (6m)make her my sweet(5) wife
(1)and as the kids grow older and(4) climb around my(1) knee
(4)I'll teach them the very same (1)lesson that my (5)mother once taught to(1) me
Chorus
(1)A mother's love's a blessing no(4) matter where you(1) roam
(4)Keep her while she's (1)living you'll (6m)miss her when shes (5)gone
(1)Love her as in childhood though (4)feeble, old and (1)grey
(4)For you'll never miss your(1)mother's love till she's(5)buried beneath the(1)clay
(4)For you'll never miss your(1)mother's love till she's(5)buried beneath the(1)clay
