| As up and down I fare by road and street | B |
| The mothers of our men at arms I meet | B |
| Who die for mine and me | C |
| That we go safe and free | C |
| Sit in the sun sleep soft and find life sweet | B |
| - | |
| I have two sons too young to fight too young | D |
| God grant if my hour comes I may be strong | E |
| And caught in such a strait | F |
| May praise God and be great | F |
| Giving my sons to save some woman from wrong | E |
| Oh mothers of dead heroes ye I know | G |
| My heart sends you a greeting soft and low | G |
| Blessed are ye whose sons | H |
| Amid the ransomed ones | H |
| Throng to the banners of Heaven as white as snow | G |
| - | |
| Somehow by some secret and certain sign | I |
| The mothers of the beloved I divine | I |
| Who died in my sons' place | J |
| My heart kneels and gives grace | J |
| Gives thanks for you for you proud sisters of mine | I |
