I stood and watched the lights of London,
Shining on the misty foam.
It was those lihjts that 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.
