Give Mother My Crown
Recorded by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
Written by Walter Bailes
[3/4 time]
G C G
She labored so hard in this world below
A7 D7
She didn't have things that most mothers know
G G7 C
Raising her children on a widow's small pay
G D7 G
Washing and ironing since dad passed away
C G
I wanna go to heaven when this life is o'er
A7 D7
I wanna be with Jesus on eternity shore
G G7 C
But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around
G D7 G
Please blessed Jesus give mother my crown
C G
I didn't realize it when I was a lad
A7 D7
Just how great a burden my mother had
G G7 C
Adoption was offered but momma said no
G D7 G
She raised us and taught us the right way to go
C G
I wanna go to heaven when this life is o'er
A7 D7
I wanna be with Jesus on eternity shore
G G7 C
But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around
G D7 G
Please blessed Jesus give mother my crown
