Give Mother My Crown

Lyrics

She labored so hard in this world below She didn't have things that most mothers know Raising her children on a widow's small pay Washing and ironing since Dad passed away I wanna go to Heaven when this life is o'er I wanna be with Jesus on eternity's shore But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around Please, blessed Jesus, give Mother my crown [ fiddle - dobro ] I didn't realize it when I was a lad Just how great a burden my mother had Adoption was offered, but Mama said no She raised us and taught us the right way to go I wanna go to Heaven when this life is o'er I wanna be with Jesus on eternity's shore But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around Please, blessed Jesus, give Mother my crown
