Language: English

My love, my love, let me home to my mother;
my love, my love, let me home, let me home;
my love, my love, let me home as you found me;
I came to call the cattle home.

I heard last night that my love was surrounded;
I climbed the hill by the light of the moon;
my love, my love, let me home as you found me:
I came to call the cattle home.

Though you gave me horses on halters,
though you gave me cattle and sheep,
though you gave me servants and footmen,
I came to call the cattle home.

My love, my love, let me home to my mother;
my love, my love, let me home , let me home;
my love, my love, let me home as you found me:
I came to call the cattle home.
