Oh Mother dear 
What a night this has been 
I awoke in the light of a vision in white 
The prettiest girl that I have ever seen  
Lately my love, said the lady in white 
I have watched from afar, but love draws me near 
Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear 
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 
Was it just another dream..... in the night?  
 
Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white 
He said his name was death, was he right? 
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 
Was it just another dream..... in the night? 
Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? 
Was it just another dream..... in the night?  
 
Mother dear, what a night this has been 
It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? 
Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear 
Was it just another dream, Mother dear?
