Mother O' Mine

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