Ill Not Forget My Mothers Prayer Chords & Lyrics - Hank Snow

[INTRO]
[G7] [C]

[VERSE 1]
I never [C]shall forget the [G7]day
I heard my [G]dear old mother [C]say
"I'm leaving [C]now the old home [F]dear
Remember [C]Jack,[G] your mother's [C]prayer"

[VERSE 2]
She left me [C]as the golden [G7]sun
Behind the [G]hill top it did [C]hide
And when I [C]found that she had [F]gone
I laid my [C]guitar [G]down and [C]cried

[CHORUS]
And now she's [E]gone this [F]world is [C]drear
I long to [D7]have dear [D]mother [G]here[G7]
She's gone to [C]join the angels [F]there
I'll not for[C]get my [G]mother's [C]prayer

[VERSE 3]
The birds were [C]still, no sound was [G7]made
The organ [G]sad, but sweetly [C]played
As by her [C]side we gathered [F]there
Our heads bowed [C]down in [G]silent [C]prayer

[VERSE 4]
We laid here [C]where the fragrant [G7]rose
Was blooming [G]o'er her lonely [C]grave
And now in a[C]nswer to her [F]prayer
I'll meet dear [C]mother [G]some sweet [C]day

[CHORUS]
And now she's [E]gone this [F]world is [C]drear
I long to [D7]have dear [D]mother [G]here[G7]
She's gone to [C]join the angels [F]there
I'll not for[C]get my [G]mother's [C]prayer
