Try this one.. 'My Mother' recorded by the Fortune Bays sons. I originally found this version on YouTube. It was destined to become a Newfoundland song and they were trying to add it to their canon... they had credited Stewart Ross as originator of the lyric (but gave it the wrong title Mike's Mom). There are a few words wrong which spoils the poetry of my father's words, and also its performed at a much faster pace than usual.

The guy who did the video has amended the text to acknowledge the Scottish roots of both the modern words and the music.

The version being sung isn't quite correct, and I have posted the full correct lyrics for the song on the current 'mother' song link.

The lyrics were written in 1975, and some Scottish Gaels may feel its a 'bastardization' of their culture. However, at the time he wrote the lyric he was unaware of there being any other lyrics, as 'My Mother' or 'Mo Mhathair' was in many Scottish dance band recordings as a 'Trad. instrumental' and registered as such.   98% of his works are wholly original words and music - but 'My Mother' and 'Dark Island' are just lyrics only.   You can however, see my father's penchant for writing lyrics about being far from home...
