When Mum Comes Home
| Ríoghnach nEachach |

Come, little sister, don't you fret
If you're a good girl, then I'll bet There'll be a sweetie for you yet Soon as Mum comes home Hush, little sister, dry your tears There is nothing for you to fear Listen for Mum with a careful ear Soon she will be home CHORUS Silently the sun sets Birds no longer call If you listen closely You'll hear nothing at all Now, little sister, worry not The water's clean and the pantry's stocked If we are careful, none will rot Not til Mum comes home. Hurry now, sister, quickly tread We do not want to burn the bread I bet our Mum will be impressed Soon as she is home CHORUS Don't worry, sister, close your eyes Turn back around and go inside I promise all will be alright Please go on back home Careful now, Mother, that was close Be more aware of where you go If you are bad, then you should know You will not come home CHORUS |
