_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ There are friends who will want [E] you, but just for a day.
There are pals you think true, but they'll cast you [A] away.
But there's one loving soul, [D] boys, I'll sure [Eb] recommend.
Through [A] this whole world of sorrow, [E] she'll be true to the [A] _ end.
_ Mother, _ though her hair, _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ silver hair that has, _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ he'll left her alone.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [B] But all _ _ _ _ _ her [E] tears, _ [A] so kiss her, oh _ _ [D] whisper softly and [Eb] true.
_ [A] _
_ Mother, _ _ [Dm]
you're just an angel, [A] but I _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
love a cottage.
[D] A wreath sadly hung, _ [A] and a hearse stood there waiting, _ as the choir softly sung.
_ There were flowers in mere beauty, [A] _ [F] and the [D] old parson prayed.
_ [A] This was the last tribute, as [E] they left for her [A] grave.
_ She won't meet you tonight, son, _ [D] when you crave her caress.
_ She has reared you to manhood, and [E] now you've laid her to rest.
_ [A] Those flowers in mere beauty, ah, [D] to her they're unknown.
_ [A] Because tonight she's with the angels, [E] up around the great [A] throne.
_ So don't wait that late, son, _ [D] to try and repay.
_ Give [A] those flowers and give those treasures, and [E]
give them today.
_ [A] Let her know that you love her, _ [D] and assure her that you care.
_ [A] Because she's your mother, God love her.
[E] She's as true [A] as a prayer.
So kiss her, oh brow, _ [D] whisper softly [Eb] and true.

_ _ Mother, _ [F] you're just an angel, [A] but I_
