Good Bye Sweet Mum

For many a year,
With many a tear-
Falling from my eyes,
I whisper my sighs.

My sweet mum is gone
As if fired from a gun-
No more to be seen,
Gone well with no sin.

Her tenderness gone,
Weeping is her son-
Who dreams everyday,
In all days of May.

Oh good bye mama,
Very good mother-
Called home by good God,
Clean feet with no mud.
