I Love My Motherland 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Jun 2004

Motherland! tho' the mighty seas divide us,
and your sons were scattered,
one and all;
there came a day
your family were united,
'twas the day they heard your call.
Other nations ask the reason why,
from each of us they hear this proud reply:

"I love my Motherland,
and wherever I may be;
there is no other land
like the Motherland to me.
I may be far away,
over miles of ocean blue,
but Motherland, dear Motherland,
my heart is still with you.

"I love my Motherland,
and wherever I may be;
there is no other land
like the Motherland to me.
I may be far away,
over miles of ocean blue,
but Motherland, dear Motherland,
my heart is still with you."

Motherland!
you have sons who came from India,
and the lads from far Australia's shore;
Canadian Boys, too,
keep this old flag flying,
it's a flag worth fighting for.
Irish, Scotch and Welsh with English sing,
In unity, for Empire, Home and King:

"I love my Motherland,
and wherever I may be;
there is no other land
like the Motherland to me.
I may be far away,
over miles of ocean blue,
but Motherland, dear Motherland,
my heart is still with you.

"I love my Motherland,
and wherever I may be;
there is no other land
like the Motherland to me.
I may be far away,
over miles of ocean blue,
but Motherland, dear Motherland,
my heart is still with you."
