If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine! If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother oโ mine, O mother oโ mine!
