I was looking for the words to one of my mothers old songs she used to sing. I could not find on this search. After I wrote them down, I just thought maybe someone else might be interested in this song? Words are below.

MY MOTHER
As sung by Hank Snow

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 her 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."

[Spoken:] 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 he prayed.
This was the last tribute, as they left for her grave.
She won't meet you tonight, son, when you crave her caress.
She has reared you to manhood, and now you've laid her to rest.
Those flowers in their beauty, ah, to her they're unknown,
'Cause tonight she's with the angels up around God's great throne.
So don't wait that late, son, to try and repay.
Give those flowers and give those treasures, and give them today.
Let her know that you love her, and kindly show her that you care,
'Cause 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."
