My mother who was Glaswegian sang her version

I once had a dear old mother, who was very kind to me, for when I was in trouble she sat me on her knee ....

One night as I was sleeping upon a feathered bed an angel came from heaven and told me ma was dead.

I woke up I’m the morning to see if this was true, yes Mom had gone to heaven upon the skies so blue..... so children obey your Parents and do as you are told;for once you lose your mother you lose a heart of gold
