             *Tear Stained Message*
A fond young mother knells beside her darlings trundle bed
looking down with tender loving eyes
She prays for gods best blessing on her darlings golden head
her only child a gift from paradise
The girl grew into woman hood, a stranger stole her heart,
and attemped her to leave her home, that's all   
his love grew cold he left her, same old story told,
a broken heart and then, beyond recall


Only a wee small token, only a lock of her hair
only a tear stained message, goodbye mother dear
Only a old home forsaken, only a heart filled with pain
only a old white haired mother, waiting but waiting in vain


The dear old home is standing, as she left it years ago
birds sing in the archord as before
A door pushed gently opened shows a mother kneeling there
with faultering steps, her child was home once more


With tear dimmed eyes the poor child cries, oh mother dear forgive
a last the white haired mother was no more
Clasped thightly to her bossom, was a lock of golden hair
the tear stained messge lies upon the floor


Only a wee small token, only a lock of her hair
only a tear stained message, goodbye mother dear
Only an old home forsaken, only a heart filled with pain
only an old white haired mother, waiting but waiting in vien
