OLD SCOTCH MOTHER MINE Ray McKay and Joseph Maxwell
CHORUS: In an old Scottish home that is dear to my mind Lives an old Scottish mother, so gentle and kind. Trouble and care may have wrinkled her brow, But with thoughts sweet and tender, I think of her now.
1. Old Scotch Mother Mine, You are with me all the while, Your kind old eyes And your dear sweet smile. CHORUS
2. Tho' we're far apart, For the sake of Auld Lang Syne - God bless and keep you Old Scotch Mother Mine. CHORUS
