Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping. Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come. The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping. They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away.
You're my sweet blue-eyed darling. And my love belongs to you. All I ask of you my darling. (All I ask, my darling). Is love me good and be true. (You love me good and be true).
