My Mother Lyrics - 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 

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 beauy and the old Parson he prayed 

This was the last tribute as we 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 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 but give them today 

Let her know that you love her and kinda 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
