Mother

Lyrics

There are friends who will want you but just for a day There are pals you think true but they'll cast you away But there's one loving soul boys I'll sure recommend Through this old world of sorrow she'll be true till the end Mother though your hands are all wrinkled and old Mother silver hair that has lost all the gold You left her alone went to roam through the years But all that you left her was heartaches and tears So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true Mother you're just an angel and I love you On the door of a cottage a wreath sadly hung And a hearse stood there waiting as the choir softly sung There were flowers in their beauty and the old Parson prayed This was the last tribute as she left for her grave She won't meet you tonight son when you crave her caress She has reared you to manhood, now you've laid her to rest Those flowers in their beauty rare to her they're unknown Cause tonight she's with the angels up around the great throne So don't wait that late son to try and repay Give those flowers and give those treasures, and give them today Remember how she loved you and always show you care She's your mother, God love her, she's as true as a prayer So kiss her old brow whisper softly and true Mother you're just an angel and I love you
