Mother Mckee

Wise Mother McKee of venerable age
Was rocking herself to blissful sleep
A recalled melody played in her thoughts
To a fiddler's merry jig

Was rocking herself to blissful sleep
Dancing with family who had predeceased
To a fiddler's merry jig
As sunset's halo lit up her face

Dancing with family who had predeceased
A recalled melody played in her thoughts
As sunset's halo lit up her face
Wise Mother McKee of venerable age
