London Lights lyrics

See how those London lights are shining,

Through the frost and falling snow

Sleep on, sleep on, my blue-eyed treasure

Oh, your mother's got nowhere to go

Oh, once a young man learned to love me

And he taught me to do the same

And now, oh, now, he's gone and left me

And on my brow, there's written shame

See how my sisters they despise me

And my brothers do the same

For father says he will not own me

And my mother hangs her head in shame

Oh, Mother! Oh, Mother, please forgive me

Take me in your heart once more

Although you've turned me from your bosom

Please don't turn me from your door

Although my clothes are going ragged

Still they'll keep my baby warm

Sleep on, sleep on, my blue-eyed treasure

Oh, our wandering days will soon be done
