Mother o' Mine

Rudyard Kipling

---

 

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,
    Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
    Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
