Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 52
THERE'S NO LOVE LIKE THE LOVE OF A MOTHER.
Copyright, 1896. by A. Scull & Co.
Words and Music by Andy Lewis.
There's no love like the love of a mother,
No matter where you in this world may roam;
There's no love like the love of a mother,
In foreign lands or else at home:
When a babe in your cradle how she nursed you;
You were her delight when a boy;
And now that you've grown into manhood,
You still are her pride and her joy.
Chorus.
There's no love like the love of a mother,
No love that is with you all through;
There's no love like the love of a mother-
A mother's love is constant and true.
There's my mother, who's now with the angels,
Her memory I lovingly recall;
In childhood she watched o'er my footsteps,
Lest I should by the wayside fall.
When sickness prevailed she watched o'er you,
To nurse you to health was her aim.
Yet still that she's gone from you forever.
You are often compelled to exclaim: - Chorus.
