LEAVE ME WITH MY MOTHER.
1
Leave me with my mother for her voice is sweet,Sweetest, sweetest melody
Leave me with my mother, for she clings to me.
Fondly, fondly clings to me!
2
Leave me with my mother, for I love her more,Far more, far more than you know,
Leave me with my mother, for her heart is pure,
Purer, purer than the snow.
3
Leave me with my mother, and her prayers of love,Fervent, fervent prayers of love.
Leave me with my mother, she is heard above,
Kindly, kindly heard above.
