Mother of the high seas, please guide me home or leave me alone
Father of the plains and prairie, behold me and see me crying
Back yesterday
Crying back yesterday
Back yesterday
Crying back yesterday
Mother moon, behold me, I'm waiting for the dew of relief,
Father sun I'm waiting, for the beams of tomorrow
Throw the sorrow back tomorrow
Back yesterday
Crying back yesterday
Back yesterday
Crying back yesterday
