Give Mother My Crown Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

She labored so hard in this world below she didn't have things that most mothers know 

Raising her children on a widow's small pay washing and ironing since dad passed away 

I wanna go to heaven when this life is o'er I wanna be with Jesus on eternity shore 

But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around 

Please blessed Jesus give mother my crown 

[ fiddle - dobro ] 

I didn't realize it when I was a lad just how great a burden my mother had 

Adoption was offered but mama said no 

She raised us and taught us the right way to go 

I wanna go to heaven...
