Subject: Lyr Req: 'My mother's Last Goodbye'
Can anybody please help with the lyrics to this song?"

I was only just a youngster
And I had no thoughts of home
Like many other foolish lads
I wanted for to roam
My kind old folks around me
Sure they thought so much of me
But I left my dear old homestead
And I went away to sea

Goodbye god bless you Charley lad
Whereever you may roam
Let no false pride make you forget
Your loving ones at home
Goodbye god bless you Charley lad
How sadly she did cry
But ..........
I'll never forget my mother's last goodbye
