Farewell Mother Dear
Farewell Mother Dear | |
Stephen C. Foster, 1861
| Farewell! mother dear, I go Where loved ones never can be parted. We will meet again I know; Be not weeping and downhearted. Last night I dreamed of thee Saying pleasant things to me; Still again those vigils keep While I lay me gently down to sleep. Chorus: Oh! Farewell, mother dear, I go Where loved ones never can be parted. We will meet again I know; Be not weeping and downhearted. |
2. Weep not mother dear for me When I'm laid underneath the willow; I'll keep guard upon thy soul; Thou hast guarded o'er my pillow. Far in a radiant land I will join a sister band They are singing a sweet refrain I am called: Farewell! we meet again. |
