How well do I remember the lessons that I learn’d In childhood from my mother fond and true In accents full of joy she’d say my darling boy Now don’t forget what I am tell ing you As through this life you go you’ll meet with many a foe Temptations too will oft be set your way But when you kneel at night ask God to guide you right In all your actions each succeeding day CHORUS [sung after each verse] Then do not forget the lessons that you learn’d In childhood at your loving mother’s knee In thoughts of love so true she’ll still remember you Tho’ far from home and mother you may be. 2. Those lessons that I learn’d I think of with sweet pride And cherish those fond mem’ries dear to me Companions they have been in childhood oft I ween Since when I left my darling mother’s knee As older now I grow and think of years gone by One though of mother helps me on my way God bless her dear old face none other can replace Affections you receive in childhood’s day
