[Verse 1] Hold on to your son Lest he should be forsaken Keep strong, stay strong Before long they will be gone [Chorus] Few and far between Are the ones yet so dear to me Hold that child to your breast What they don't know they don't know they never will guess [Verse 2] Stand by your sister, keep by her side Your blood is thin still the lineage abides No coils, no enmities Enmity binds but your arteries are tied [Chorus]
Few and far between Are the ones yet so dear to me Hold that child to your breast What they don't know they don't know they never will guess Oh Oh Oh [Verse 3] Hold on to your son lest he should be forsaken Keep strong, stay strong Before long they will be gone [Chorus] Few and far between Are the ones yet so dear to me Hold that child to your breast What they don't know they don't know they never will guess Oh Oh Oh
