My mother's spirit

Came to me when I was weak

I said My dear mother

Lay down to sleep

Lay down dear mother

Lay down and rest your tired head

I know you are just sleeping

I know you are blessed

Lay down dear mother

Lay down and rest your head

I know you are sleeping

I know you are blessed

I know my dear mother

Has just laid herself down to sleep

I miss you now

So many tears that I'll weep

Lay down dear mother

Lay down and rest your tired head

I know you are just sleeping

I know you are blessed

I know dear mother

You laid yourself down to sleep

But I miss you now

So many tears that I'll weep
