'tis a faded picture - florrie forde lyrics

a youth left dear old england and sailed o’er the foam
and he dreamt of wealth untold;
he sought fame and fortune, far, far from his home
and joined in the fight for gold;
dame fortune refused on his efforts to smile
oft at night, ‘neath the moon’s bright ray
he would gaze on an old worn*out photo awhile
and then to his comrades would say:
’tis a faded picture of a dear old friend
just a tiny picture i will treasure till the end;
two sad eyes pleading, to me they seem to say:
“remember, your mother is waiting to welcome her boy some day.”
the camp fires burn brightly, the youth’s heart is glad
there is news from home today
a letter from england, from mother and dad
and the dear ones so far away
that night, as he prays for a speedy return
to the home of his youth again
that old picture once more makes his manly heart yearn
and brings back this plaintive refrain:
’tis a faded picture of a dear old friend
just a tiny picture i will treasure till the end;
two sad eyes pleading, to me they seem to say:
“remember, your mother is waiting to welcome her boy some day.”
’tis a faded picture of a dear old friend
just a tiny picture i will treasure till the end;
two sad eyes pleading, to me they seem to say:
“remember, your mother is waiting to welcome her boy some day.”
