My sweet mother's many beautiful words

1. My sweet mother has many beautiful words, ; To whom I have never listened, ; I would listen, but it is too late, ; The light is fading from my eyes. ; ; 2. My sweet mother told me, ; What is the use of a lover to me, ; But I was not inclined to do so, ; I kept a lover in secret. ; ; 3. I kept a lover in secret, ; Not one, not two, ; //: Even now I keep such a pretty brunette, ; The world is angry with her. :// ; ;
