About this book
Goodbye mother dear : the sweetest of mother songs
Author: Manley, Morris, fl. 1900-1920
Year: 1916
[Verse 1] A mother and her only son / Together sat one night / The song birds they were all at rest / The silv’ry moon shone bright / For he had joined the army, / And soon must march away, / So when a month had passed and gone / His mother heard him say. / [Chorus] Good-bye, mother dear, / It is time for us to part / But I’ll come back to you some day / Don’t grieve for me, dear heart / And when the canons roar / God bless you do not fear / Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are marching, / Good-bye mother dear. [Verse 2] He wrote a letter from the front / Which read “Don’t worry dear / We’ll save the flag we love so well / Now mother, have good cheer.” / His photograph upon the wall, / She looks at it each day, / And then her thoughts turn back again, / To when he went away. [Chorus repeats]
