I Have An Aged Mother |
| Last night while I lay sleeping |
| Last night while in a dream |
| I saw my dear old mother |
| Down by a rippling stream |
| Don’t ask me why I’m weeping |
| Don’t ask me why I pray |
| For I’ve an aged mother |
| 10,000 miles away |
| A letter here from sister dear |
| Come home, we’re all alone |
| Dear mother’s slowly fading |
| She can’t be with us long |
| Don’t ask me why I’m weeping |
| Don’t ask me why I pray |
| I’ve a dear old mother dying |
| 10,000 miles away |
| Well, ah-le-ho, le-ho-lay |
| Well, ah-le-ho, le-ho-lay |
| Out in the cold world |
| Long ways from home |
| I’m drawing near the old home |
| Dear sister’s at the gate |
| She’s leading me through the doorway |
| Oh, brother, you’ve come too late |
| Oh, lead me to the casket |
| Throw back the linen so fine |
| That I may kiss her pale white lips |
| For I know they’ll never kiss mine |
| I see the pale moon shining |
| On mother’s white tombstone |
| The rosebuds 'round them twining |
| Are just like me alone |
| Well, ah-le-ho, le-ho-lay |
| Well, ah-le-ho, le-ho-lay |
| Out in the cold world |
| Left all alone |
