MY MOTHER'S HOME

1. I stood and watched the lights of London,
Shining on the misty foam.
It was those lights that first enticed me
For to leave my mother's home.

CHORUS: O mother, mother, please forgive me.
Let me rest my head once more.
Although you've never turned me from your bosom,
Please don't turn me from your door.

2. Although my clothes are torn and tattered,
Still they'll keep my baby warm.
I'm going home to the one that loves me,
Where once I had a happy home.


WITH CHORDS:

I [A] stood and watched the lights of [E7] London,
[Bm] Shining [E7] on the misty [A] foam.
