  1. O Mother of Doleurs

    1.
    O mother of Doleurs look down on my grief.
    A broken heartened parent seeks thy relief.
    To see my sick darling,
    I sped o'er the sea.
    But twas low I beheld her.
    My Gra Gall Machree.
    2.
    Had I but a kiss but recaved your last sign.
    Or watched the last glance of your living eye.
    I heard you murmur my ' ere thy spirit could flee.
    Twould become consolation.
    My Gra Gall Machree.
    3.
    God's blessing be on him the divid Irish priest.
    Who cheered your love seat till your soul was released.
    May he rest with his own near the Hoary Han Free
    Where his fore fathers slimber.
