VERSE 1
G C G
On a dark stormy night the angels called mother
G D
Her love that we shared for such a short while
G C G
She called us around and told us she was leaving
G D G
Then closing her eyes she went with a smile
CHORUS
G C G
Mother that rests in a lonesome old graveyard
G D
On a hill a far away there's stands her white tomb
G C G
With the grass covered over it seems so neglected
G D G
When the spring seasons comes sweet flowers will bloom
VERSE 2
I'll never forget the love mother gave us
As children we'd play around our old home
I know her reward is a mansion in heaven
While her children on earth are scattered and gone
(CHORUS)
