Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Picture alone a humble home
Mother in mem’ry I see
Well can I tell my last farewell
Her words they still cling to me
My boy, she said, uphold your head
Though you go forth now to roam
Remember, son, all that I’ve done
Give me a thought here at home
Chorus
Always think of mother no matter where you roam
Always think of mother although you’re far from home
Your friends and many others will sometimes prove untrue
So always think of mother for she’ll always think of you
- Now she is gone for her I mourn
How can I ever forget
When but a boy I was her joy
Ofttimes do I still regret
Those were the days I had my ways
Mother would often scold me
How I do long for one sweet song
Such as she often sang me
