I,HAVE NO MOTHER NOW
I hear the low winds sweeting
Through every bush and tree,
Where my dear mother's sleeping
Away from home and me.
Chorus:
Tears from my eyes are flowing
And sorrow shades my brow,
Cold in the grove she's sleeping,
I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining
On mother's white tomb stone,
The rose bush round it twining,
It's just like me alone.
It's just like me a-weeping,
Cold dewdrops damp my brown,
It's just like me a-weeping,
I have no mother now.
My life is so lonely,
My heart is troubled sore,
Her dearest presence, only,
Could make me weep no more.
She has gone from me to heaven,
Deep sorrow shades my brow,
The sacred tie is broken,
I have no mother now.
Sad was the hour of parting,
She said in words so sweet,
My loved one I'm dying
We must in heaven meet.
0 yes, I'll meet you Mother,
On that eternal shore
And there we'll live together,
Where parting is no more.
Come now, ye orphan children,
Who sorrow here below,
And join me in a promise,
That you'll to glory go.
Then when our labor's ended
And time shall be no more,
We'll go and live with mother,
Where parting is no more.
