CFZ PEOPLE: Mary Downes (1922-2002)


My mother would have been 81 today

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!
