Mother Machree Lyrics - John Mcdermott

There's a spot in me heart which no colleen may own 

There's a depth in me soul never sounded or known 

There's a place in my memory, my life that you fill 

No other can take it, no one ever will 

Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair 

And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care 

I kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me 

Oh, God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree 

Every sorrow or care in the dear days gone by 

Was made bright by the light of she smile in your eye 

Like a candle that's set in a window at night 

Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right
