My Mother's Home lyrics and chords by Foster And Allen

This song is not really that well known and I don't know who the writer is. It was also recorded by Helen Creighton and Lizzie Higgins.

I stood and watched the lights of London,
Shining on the misty foam.
It was those London lights first enticed me
For to leave my mother's home.
Chorus
O'h mother, mother please forgive me,
Let me rest my head once more.
Although you've never turned me from your bosom
Please don't turn me from your door.
[2]
Although my clothes are torn and tattered
Still they'll keep my baby warm.
I'm going home to the one that loves me,
Where once I had a happy home.
[chorus]
O'h mother, mother please forgive me,
Let me rest my head once more.
Although you've never turned me from your bosom
Please don't turn me from your door.
