ESitting alone in an Bold rocking chair I B7saw an old mother with Esilvery hair She seemed so neglected by Athose who should care BRocking alone in an old rocking Echair
EHer hands were all callused and Bwrinkled and old A B7life of hard work was the Estory they told And I thought of angels as AI saw her there BRocking alone in an old rocking Echair
EBless her old heart, do you Bthink she'd complain Though B7life has been bitter she'd Elive it again And carry that cross that is Amore than her share BRocking alone in an old rocking Echair
EIt wouldn't take much just to Bgladden her heart Just B7some small remembrance on Esomebody's part A letter would brighten her Aempty life there BRocking alone in an old rocking Echair
EI look at her and I Bthink "What a shame" The B7ones who forgot her she Eloves just the same And I think of angels as AI see her there BRocking alone in an old rocking Echair
