“At a cottage door one wintery night, as the snow lay on that ground”
I
At a cottage door one wintery night,
As the snow lay on that ground,
Stood a youthful Irish Soldier Boy,
To the mountain he was bound,
His mother stood beside him,
Saying you'll win my boy don't fear,
With loving arms around his waist,
She tied his bandelier.
II
Good bye, God bless you mother dear,
I hope your heart won't pain,
But its pray to God your Soldier boy,
You soon will see again,
And when I'm out in the fighting line,
It will be a source of joy,
To know that your a mother proud,
Of an Irish Soldier boy.(continues on next page)- Collector
