lyrics

as I ramble this wide world over
friends I've found wherever I roam
but to me there's none like mother
none like mother dear at home

ye may treat me very kindly
bid me welcome everywhere
but it only just reminds me
of a loving mother's care

I remember it well how mother
used to soothe the slightest pain
with her tender words and kisses
she'd soon make me well again

so God wilt thou have mercy
on my darling precious boy
ye protect him, I pray thee
let not sin his soul destroy


traditional? words by Roscoe Holcomb?
