A vision of mother
Oft' my mothers drift back to childhood To the time when I was free As I played befodre the fireside Round my darling mother's knee There's a blessed home up yonder Where my loved ones wait for me I saw mother in a vision Kneeling there to pray for me Then one day our mother left us Daddy said she'd gone to rest I remember how she loved me As she clutched me to her breast * Refrain Some sweet day I'll meet you mother You little bay is coming home To see you as in days of childhood The one you loved and left alone * Refrain
