American Old Time Song Lyrics: 39 I Have No Mother Now 2
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 39
I HAVE NO MOTHER NOW 2
I hear the soft winds sighing through every bush and tree,
Where now dear mother's lying, away from love and me.
Tears from my eyes are starting, and sorrow shades my brow;
Oh! weary was our parting-I have no mother now.
I am always sad and lonely, with grief upon my brow;
She has gone, alas! forever-I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining on mother's white headstone;
The rosebush 'round it twining, it's here-like me alone-
And, just like me, are weeping the dewdrops from the bough;
Long time has she been sleeping-I have no mother now.
I am always sad and lonely, with grief upon my brow;
She has gone, alas! forever-I have no mother now.
Now I wander sad and lonely, my heart is drear and sad;
'Twas her dear presence only that made my spirits glad;
From morn until the evening, care rests upon my brow,
She's gone from me to heaven-I have no mother now.
I am always sad and lonely, with grief upon my brow;
She has gone, alas! forever-I have no mother now.
