Lyrics
Refrain
Oh, “Believe me, if all those endearing young charms”
Is a song that she oft’ sang to me
And the “Last Rose of Summer”
Still breathes a fragrant melody
“Ah! Don’t you remember, sweet Alice, Ben Bolt”
From out the golden past those sweet notes ring
Tonight I hear those dear old songs again
Those songs my mother used to sing
Chorus
Come back to Erin, Mavourneen, Mavourneen
Tenderly of Ireland’s Isle she sang
And of Bonnie Annie Laurie
That oft’ thro’ dear old Scotland’s mountains rang
Ah! Way down upon the Swanee River
What happiness those misty mem’ries bring
Tonight I hear those dear old songs again
Those songs my mother used to sing
Performance
