[c] dear brother, mama left us this morning

Death's [g7] angels took her a-[c] way

She's gone to meet daddy up there in heaven

But [g7] we'll meet again some [c] day. [c7]



She [f] left this world with a [c] smile on her face







Whisp'ring the saviour's [g7] name

[c] dear brother, mama left us this morning

For the [g7] city where is no [c] pain.



As i stood by her bedside, those last few moments

I lived my childhood again

I thought of you brother and of the old homestead

And my tears they fell like rain.
