Come and sit by the side of your mother my boy
|
You have only a moment I know
|
And stay while I give you this parting advice
|
It is all that I have to bestow
|
|
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
|
Wherever your footsteps may roam
|
Oh for sake not the the way of salvation my boy
|
That you've learned from your mother at home
|
|
In your satchel you'll find there's a Bible my boy
|
It's the book of all others the best
|
It will teach you to live and prepare you to die
|
And will take to the gates of the blest
|
|
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right...
|
|
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right...
|
Oh hold fast to the right
|
|

Hold Fast To The Right
