[VERSE 1]
As I travel this wide world over
Friends I find, wherever I roam
Still to me there’s none like mother
None like mother dear at home
[VERSE 2]
They may treat me very kindly
Bid me welcome everywhere
But it just only reminds me
Of a loving mother’s care
[VERSE 3]
I remember well how mother
Used to slew the slightest pain
With hеr tender words and kisses
Shе’d soon make me well again
[VERSE 4]
Mother would thou have me though I roam
Protect me when I am far from home
