Gentle Mother ----- Big Tom & The Mainliners + Lyrics

By the side of a clear crystal fountain
There stands a lonely church yard closely by
There's a tombstone decorated with primroses
In the memory of a loved one passed away

Shall I ne'er see you more gentle mother
In the fields where the wild flowers grow
Gathering flowers as they grew among the wild winds
And i Cherished was no trouble unto you

Some children take a liking to their parents
While some others fill their mothers hearts with pain
But some day they will be sorry for their blindness
When crying will not take her back again

Shall I ne'er see you more gentle mother
In the fields where the wild flowers grow
I am sorry for that loss I can't recover
Neath yon willow lies my gentle mothers love

Neath yon willow lies my gentle mothers love
