DEDICATION If I were hanged on the highest hill,     Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! I know whose love would follow me still,     Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea,     Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! I know whose tears would come down to me,     Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole,     Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
