Don’t be Angry Mother.
Don’t be angry mother, mother,
Let thy smiles be smiles of joy,
Don’t be angry, mother, mother,
Don’t be angry with thy boy.
Years have flown since we have travers’d
The dark and stormy sea;
Whilst your boy quite broken-heart’d,
Ne’er has ceased to think of thee.
Don’t be angry mother, mother,
Let the world say what it will,
Though I don’t deserve thy favor,
Yet I fondly love thee still;
We have lived and loved together,
And our hearts ne’er knew a pain
But forgive me, mother, mother,
Oh, forgive thy boy again.
Pray, remember, mother, mother,
I’ve been kneeling at thy feet,
And I am dreaming of thee nightly,
While reclining in my sleep;
But forgive me, mother, mother,
It will ease thy heart of pain,
But forgive me, mother, mother,
Oh, forgive thy boy again.
