I'll Not Forget My Mother's Prayer |
I never shall forget the day |
I heard my dear old mother say |
«I'm leaving now the old home dear, |
remember Jack your mother’s prayer». |
She left me as the golden sun |
behind the hill top it did hide, |
And when I found that she had gone |
I laid my guitar down and cried. |
And now she’s gone this world is drear, |
I long to have dear mother here, |
She’s gone to join the angels there, |
I’ll not forget my mother’s prayer. |
The birds were still, no sound was made, |
The organ sad but sweetly played, |
As by her side we gathered there, |
Our heads bowed down in silent prayer. |
We laid here where the fragrant rose |
was blooming o’er her lonely grave, |
And now in answer to her prayer |
I’ll meet dear mother some sweet day. |
And now she’s gone this world is drear, |
I long to have dear mother here, |
She’s gone to join the angels there, |
I’ll not forget my mother’s prayer |
