A Mother's Last Sacrifice to Her Son
My boy, my boy,
My pride and lovely joy.
I may not make it very long,
But you will sing my living song,
When I am gone.
When I am gone.
My son, my son,
Whatever have I done?
I love you with my helpless heart,
But I know we must stay apart,
'Til I am gone.
And you are gone.
My love, my love,
My green palm from the dove.
I hope you use this second chance,
And don't move 'til you take a glance,
When I am gone.
When I am gone.
