Mother o’ Mine
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,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

Thank you.
What a pleasure to read Mother O’ mine.
We are in a concert called Sing for Joy this Satuurday & our soloists are singing these words, so its great to see them & where they come from, Mr Kipling. We respond with a chorus of:-
Mother, my great companion
Mother my truest friend
Mother way down in heaven
We’ll meet again.
