Auld Scotch Mother Mine
|
Album: I Love Sing Along Scottish Favorites
|
Traditional
This is a sentimental song about an emigrant's mother who is far away in Scotland. It was written by Ray McKay and Joseph Maxwell.
|
You can sing o' your Maggie, frae bonnie Dundee
You can sing bonnie Mary o' Arglye
You can sing o' your Jessie the Flo'er of Dunblane
Or your bonnie lass of Ballochmyle
You can sing about your Queen of the heather, if you like
You can sing of your Rose of Tralee
You can put them all together but I wouldna leave my mother
She's the best wee lassie for me
Auld Scotch Mother mine, you are with me all the while,
You kind auld eyes and your dear sweet smile,
Though we're far apart, for the sake o' Auld Lang Syne,
God bless and keep you, Auld Scotch Mother mine.
In an old Scottish home that is dear to my mind,
Lives an old Scottish Mother so gentle and kind.
Though trouble and care may have wrinkled her brow,
With thoughts sweet and tender, I think of her now.
Auld Scotch Mother mine, you are with me all the while,
You kind auld eyes and your dear sweet smile,
Though we're far apart, for the sake o' Auld Lang Syne,
God bless and keep you, Auld Scotch Mother mine.
