Select language to translate this lyric
I was sitting in a station one day
When I heard a splendid young lad say
I've no money for my fare but I'm longing to be there
And a letter from my sister tells me this
Mother's dying, please come home at once
If you want a mother's farewell kiss
Was my mother's farewell kiss, I now remember
How I'd love to see her smiling face once more
With her hand upon my brow
I can feel her touch just now
It's a memory of my mother's farewell kiss
It's a memory of my mother's farewell kiss
As the train pulled in that day
From behind the lad a voice replied
Take this money, pay your fare
It's enough to get you there
It's a twenty dollar bill I'll never miss
So the lad came safely home in time
To receive his mother's farewell kiss
Was my mother's farewell kiss, I now remember
How I'd love to see her smiling face once more
With her hand upon my brow
I can feel her touch just now
It's a memory of my mother's farewell kiss
It's a memory of my mother's farewell kiss
