And I will hold thee on my knee | B |
Thy mother's in her winding sheet | C |
And thou art all that's left to me | B |
My hairs are white with grief and age | D |
I've borne the weight of every ill | E |

Should thy false father see thy face | G |

For thou wilt have thy mother's smile | K |
And I shall see my child again | L |
