Sportively but not too fast

Widow Machree 'tis no wonder you frown,
Och hone! Widow Machree!
Faith it ruins you looks
that same dirty black gown.
Och hone! Widow Machree! How alter'd your air,
With that close cap you wear,
'Tis destroying your hair
That should be flowing free,
Be no longer a churl
Of its black silken curl,
Och bone! Widow Machree.

Widow Machree now the summer is come
Och hone! Widow Machree!
When ev'rything smiles should a beauty look glum.
Och bone! Widow Machree
See the birds go in pairs
And the rabbits and hares
Why even the …

Be Kind To The Loved Ones At Home, I. B. Woodbury

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Be kind to thy father for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee.
Be kind to thy father, for now he is old,
His locks intermingled with gray;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold,
Thy father is passing away.

Be kind to thy mother for lo! on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen;
Oh well may'st thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother for thee will she …

I have come from the mountains of the "Old Granite State",
Where the hills are so lofty, magnificent and great,
I have left kindred spirits in the land of the blest,
When I bade them adieu for the far distant west,

I have come from the mountains of the "Old Granite State",
Where the hills are so lofy magnificent and great

[Verse 2]
O! thy hills and thy vallies are sacred all to me,

The Mother Who Hath A Child At Sea, Henry Russell

Historic Sheet Music Collection

There's an eye that looks on the swelling cloud,
Folding the moon in a fun'ral shroud,
That watches the stars dying one by one,
'Till the whole of heav'ns cal light hath gone,
There's an ear that lists to the hissing surge,
As the mourner turns to the Anthem dirge,
That eye! that ear! oh whose can they be,
But a Mother's who hath a child at sea!
There's a cheek that is getting ashy white,
As the tokens of storm come on with the night,
There's a form that fix'd on the latties pane,
To mark how the gloom …
