Mother o’ Mine

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!
