[Verse 1]
D A D
An Irish boy was leaving
G D
Leaving his native home
G D
Crossing the broad Atlantic
E A A7
Once more he wished to roam
D A D
And as he was leaving his mother
G D
Who was standing at the quay
G D Bm
She threw her arms around his waist
Em A7 D
And this to him did say
[Chorus]
D A D
A mother's love's a blessing
G D
No matter where you roam
G D
Keep her while she's living
E A A7
You'll miss her when she's gone
D A D
Love her as in childhood
G D
Though feeble old and grey
G D Bm
For you'll never miss your mother's love
Em A7 D
Till she's buried beneath the clay
[Verse 2]
D A D
And as the years grow older
G D
I'll settle down in life
G D
And choose a nice young colleen
E A A7
And take her for my wife
D A D
And as the babies grow older
G D
And climb around my knee
G D Bm
I'll teach them the very same lesson
Em A7 D
That my mother taught to me
[Chorus]
D A D
A mother's love's a blessing
G D
No matter where you roam
G D
Keep her while she's living
E A A7
You'll miss her when she's gone
D A D
Love her as in childhood
G D
Though feeble old and grey
G D Bm
For you'll never miss your mother's love
Em A7 D
Till she's buried beneath the clay
