A Mother's Love Is A Blessing [print] (Thomas P Keenan)
An Irish boy was leaving Leaving his native home Crossing the broad Atlantic Once more he wished to roam And as he was leaving his mother Who was standing on the quay She threw her arms around his waist And this to him did say
A mother's love's a blessing No matter where you roam Keep her while she's living You'll miss her when she's gone Love her as in childhood Though feeble, old and grey For you'll never miss a mother's love Till she's buried beneath the clay
And as the years go onwards I'll settle down in life And choose a nice young colleen And take her for my wife And as the babes grow older And climb around my knee I'll teach them the very same lesson That my mother taught to me
A mother's love's a blessing No matter where you roam Keep her while she's living You'll miss her when she's gone Love her as in childhood Though feeble, old and grey For you'll never miss a mother's love Till she's buried beneath the clay
