Farewell sweet mother
Weep not now for me
Though my soul must wander hither
Weep not mother now for me

Soon with an angel band
I will wander hand in hand
To a fair and radiant land where
I will wait for thee

Farewell sweet mother
Weep not, weep not now for me;
Though my soul must wander hither
Weep not mother now for me

Farewell sweet mother
Every night I've dreamed of thee
And thy voice was soft and gentle
Saying pleasant things to me

While you these vigils keep
Now I lay me down to sleep
Mother tell me why you weep
Oh! weep not now for me

Farewell sweet mothеr
Weep not, weep not now for me;
Though my soul must wander hither
Weep not mothеr now for me
