Lyrics

  1. Picture alone a humble home
    Mother in mem’ry I see
    Well can I tell my last farewell
    Her words they still cling to me
    My boy, she said, uphold your head
    Though you go forth now to roam
    Remember, son, all that I’ve done
    Give me a thought here at home

Chorus
Always think of mother no matter where you roam
Always think of mother although you’re far from home
Your friends and many others will sometimes prove untrue
So always think of mother for she’ll always think of you

  1. Now she is gone for her I mourn
    How can I ever forget
    When but a boy I was her joy
    Ofttimes do I still regret
    Those were the days I had my ways
    Mother would often scold me
    How I do long for one sweet song
    Such as she often sang me
