Local Songs (continued)
“She lived beside the Anner,”
(continued from previous page)Write word to my dear mother
Say we'll meet with God above
And tell my little brothers
that I send them all my love
You left yon quiet valley
To cross the Atlantic foam
To hoard your hard won earning
For the helples ones at home.
