[00:00:00] Cottage on the Hill - Josephine Mulvenna

[00:00:00] Written by：Tommie Elphin Casserly

[00:00:10] I often dream of Ireland that isle across the sea

[00:00:19] It is my native birth place it's where I long to be

[00:00:29] Although I left it long ago I love old Ireland still

[00:00:38] For I spent many happy days in the Cottage On The Hill

[00:00:47] I still can see my mother on that morning long ago

[00:00:57] She was so frail but beautiful her voice was sad and low

[00:01:06] And as she coiled her silver hair her hands were white and still

[00:01:16] Our mother loved our little home the Cottage On The Hill

[00:01:35] I could see the anguish on her face as she said her last goodbye

[00:01:44] She threw her arms around me and tears ran from her eyes

[00:01:53] She said it's sad you have to go for you each night I'll pray

[00:02:03] I'll ask the lord to spare me till you return someday

[00:02:12] My mother died that very year when I was far away

[00:02:21] She didn't have the strength to live till I returned some day

[00:02:31] And now she's lying in her grave so peaceful and so still

[00:02:40] In the graveyard by the little church near the Cottage On The Hill

[00:02:59] Her photo stands beside my bed it reminds me of the day

[00:03:09] I left my mother all alone and sailed so far away

[00:03:18] Each night I kneel and pray for I hope I always will

[00:03:27] She gave me love happy nights in the Cottage On The Hill

[00:03:37] She gave me love happy nights in the Cottage On The Hill
