Percy Grainger — Dedication

If I were hanged on the highest hill Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose love would follow me still Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose tears would come down to me Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were damned of body and soul I know whose prayers would make me whole Mothеr o' mine, O mother o' mine!
