| Never a thought of the joys that flew by | B |
| Her one regret that she couldn't do more for me | A |
| Thoughtless and selfish her Master was I | B |

| Oh the long nights that she came at my call to me | A |
| Oh the soft touch of her hands on my brow | C |
| Oh the long years that she gave up her all to me | A |
| Oh how I yearn for her gentleness now | C |

| Slave to her baby Yes that was the way of her | D |
| Counting her greatest of services small | E |
| Words cannot tell what this old heart would say of her | D |
| Mother the sweetest and fairest of all | E |
