Here ya go:

MOTHER O' MINE
Rudyard Kipling

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,
  Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

Ah, Frank, I just put in the line breaks, that's all! I was raised on Kipling, or I guess you could say my parents "kipled" me, from Day One, it seems like!

Great to read him, anytime, isn't it? Nice to see you, Frank.
