Old Scotch Mother Mine

Music Reflects Thoughts

". . . . . Would you have ever heard of a song called
Old Scotch Mother Mine? My dad came over from
Coatbridge when he was young, and everytime he would
sing that song (beautifully) I would feel his sadness for
missing home as he never retured to Scotland. I used
to sing it with him as a girl but have forgotten the words
although the melody is with me forever."

Here you go Sheila ~

To honor the memory of your Dad!
Joseph McCluskey

This sentimental song is about an emigrant thinking about his mother who is far away in Scotland ~ ~

Chorus
In an old Scottish home that is dear to my mind
Lives an old Scottish mother, so gentle and kind.
Trouble and care may have wrinkled her brow,
But with thoughts sweet and tender,
I think of her now.

Old Scotch Mother Mine,
You are with me all the while,
Your kind old eyes
And your dear sweet smile.

Chorus

Tho' we're far apart,
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
God bless and keep you
Old Scotch Mother Mine.
