One day a mother went to a prison 

To see an erring but precious son 

She told the warden how much she loved him 

It did not matter what he had done 

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon 

She brought no silver, no pomp or style 

It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light 

The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember 

She's gone to heaven from heartaches free 

Those walls around you could never change her 

You were her baby and e'er will be 

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon 

She brought no silver, no pomp or style 

It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light 

The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
