I was trying to reremember this song myself today. I first heard/sang it 20 some years ago. It’s been interesting reading everyones’ thoughts and knowledge of this song.
I heard and sang it as:
I can hear your heart beat, heart beat, heart beat.
I can hear your heart beat, heart beat, heart beat.
Mother carry me, child I will always be.
I can hear.....
I was happy to read more verses. Thank you
