Hank Snow - Ill not forget my mothers prayer

I never ^Cshall forget the ^G7day I heard my ^Gdear old mother ^Csay "I'm leaving ^Cnow the old home ^Fdear Remember ^CJack,^G your mother's ^Cprayer"

She left me ^Cas the golden ^G7sun Behind the ^Ghill top it did ^Chide And when I ^Cfound that she had ^Fgone I laid my ^Cguitar ^Gdown and ^Ccried

And now she's ^Egone this ^Fworld is ^Cdrear I long to ^D7have dear ^Dmother ^Ghere^G7 She's gone to ^Cjoin the angels ^Fthere I'll not for^Cget my ^Gmother's ^Cprayer

The birds were ^Cstill, no sound was ^G7made The organ ^Gsad, but sweetly ^Cplayed As by her ^Cside we gathered ^Fthere Our heads bowed ^Cdown in ^Gsilent ^Cprayer

We laid here ^Cwhere the fragrant ^G7rose Was blooming ^Go'er her lonely ^Cgrave And now in a^Cnswer to her ^Fprayer I'll meet dear ^Cmother ^Gsome sweet ^Cday

And now she's ^Egone this ^Fworld is ^Cdrear I long to ^D7have dear ^Dmother ^Ghere^G7 She's gone to ^Cjoin the angels ^Fthere I'll not for^Cget my ^Gmother's ^Cprayer
